Steps, Stairs and Slipways: Exploring the history of access to the River Thames Foreshore (TotallyThamesFestival)

This talk by Nathalie Cohen and Niki Gorick will examine the archaeological evidence recorded by the Thames Discovery Programme, and the Foreshore Recording and Observation Group (FROG), for historic use of the River Thames foreshore.

We will be focusing on the remains of those structures which would once have been in regular use, and a vital part of the city’s transport links.  Now, however, these remnants of London’s eroding inter-tidal infrastructure are largely forgotten.
