Steve and Nick mudlarking

This is the first time teaching staff have been authorised to Mudlark on the Thames foreshore as part of a history course.

This one day event provides teachers and support staff from Primary and Secondary schools with the exciting opportunity to take part in a supervised session of Mudlarking on the Thames foreshore. This course has been many years in the creation, and is in conjunction with Her Majesty’s Crown Estates and the PLA.

Your tutors for the day are experts in their field, and have over 30 years of Mudlarking experience between them. Their finely developed skills will help you to examine areas and identify artefacts on the foreshore.

Steve Brooker (Mud God) & Nick Stevens (Rock) are both members of the Society Of Thames Mudlarks & also run their own club Thames And Field. They have appeared on numerous documentaries & history programs & also starred in their own show History channnel’s Mud Men which ran for 3 successful seasons and followed their archeological adventures alongside co-presenter Johnny Vaughan.

They both work closely with The Portable Antiquities Scheme, The Musuem of London and The Thames Discovery Programme and participate in many public archaeological events during the year.
