The search for objects from times gone by, on the banks of the River Thames, is a growing hobby.

You might find the shard of a Roman pottery, or a coin that’s centuries old. The Thames, snaking majestically through London, rewards mudlarks who carefully pick their way along its river banks with a journey back in time.

Mudlarking – the practice of scavenging in river mud for items of value – is now increasingly popular in Britain.
