Mudlarking 35 - Near Custom House
Aug. 17th, 2025 10:11 amA few groups of people walked down onto the foreshore briefly before leaving again and leaving me alone with the river. This section tends to be popular with tourists as it is near the Tower of London, and people were taking photos of each other, posing by the river.
Another dead eel, always sad, and some legs of a crab.
I found 3 unusually shaped pieces of glass, some flint, Staffordshire slipware sherds, Westerwald sherds, Metropolitan slipware sherds, part of what might have been a handle, a piece of pipe with maker’s initials, and a pipe stem that looks like it has been squashed.
It was so hot by the river, but I didn't want to leave.
