Learn more about the Thames Discovery Programme
When the tide is out, the Thames is the longest open–air archaeological site in London - and much of its foreshore is freely accessible to the public.
The Chiswick Pier Trust is inviting local people in West London to visit Chiswick Pier House on January 21 to learn more about the archaeology of the Thames foreshore and the activities of the Thames Discovery Programme.
This programme is a three-year Heritage Lottery Funded project that aims to engage Londoners with the archaeology that can be found on the inter-tidal area of the River Thames.
The talk is being given by Thames Discovery's Archaeology Outreach Officer Lorna Richardson, who has a BA in Medieval Archaeology and a MA in Public Archaeology, and whose main interest is widening public involvement in archaeology wherever possible.
This event is part of a series of talks organised by the Chiswick Pier Trust, a charity which aims to put people in touch with the River Thames.
Doors open at 7pm and the talk begins at 7.30pm. It is free to members, and £3 to non-members. Refreshments will be available. For more information call Chiswick Pier Trust on 020 8742 2713.
