squirmeliaI arrived in Wapping hungry, so ate a vegan cinnamon bun and a blueberry croissant and coffee from Cinnamon.
There seemed to be a group gathering outside the station. I often avoid going to Wapping as the Thames Explorer Trust organises tours there frequently, but I checked and one didn't seem to be happening today.
Then down to the foreshore, on a hot and sunny day. People had put out their deckchairs and were basking in the sun.
I walked to the right when I went down the New Crane Stairs. A man was peering into pools of water, and wearing gloves, so definitely mudlarking.
I walked onwards, towards Hermitage Moorings.
Canada Geese swam past.
Past the moorings, by where the police are, I came across a group who were mudlarking, so turned back the other way. I later looked up who they were and it seems they were the group who gathered outside the station - seems to be a Meetup group - “The London Cultureseekers Group”.
I watched swans pecking at algae on wooden posts.
Today’s finds were all pottery sherds and pieces of glass. The glass shimmered beautifully in the sun and I can never resist combware.
The large piece in the top left is likely to be part of a Victorian marmalade jar, made by Maling, who were based in Newcastle. I didn’t lick it to see if you could still taste the marmalade.
In the bottom left is a delicate elaborate handle, probably from a cup.
