Meet Marie-Louise, the Time Travelling Mudlark, searching the Thames at low tide to find treasures from the past. In this episode she explains how finding artefacts on the foreshore of the Thames catapults her into a world of detective work to uncover long forgotten social histories of London and the people who inhabited it. From pilgrim badges to transatlantic ‘slave’ beads, and even smoke enema nozzles, you never know what the Thames is going to throw up next!
