squirmeliaLow tide was conveniently just after work so for my last mudlark, I headed to Ernie’s Beach and walked along to the spot outside the National Theatre and to Waterloo Bridge. I've found so much here.
There was one other mudlark there and they said hello to me as I walked past, feeling grumpy. The tide was quite high for a low tide again and I just picked up anything really, sad and desperate, as it was my last time.
A last piece of Willow and a last piece of ABC and a last piece of Express Dairies Aster pattern.
There is a sherd that looks like it could have said Rutland. But what else did it say? Rutland Arms Hotel, J&B G.., London?
The sherd with Burslem on it is from Newport Potteries who were in operation from 1920.
The brown piece is likely to be from a stoneware R White’s bottle.
There's a mysterious number on one piece.
I also found a broken button.
My favourite find on this day was the glass bottle stopper.
(You need a permit to search or mudlark on the Thames foreshore.)
