David, you smoking that pipe made my heart leap for joy. How wonderful! You smoked History. I love it, love it. I hope your name is David. Whoever smoked that pipe, I am in awe.
David smoke a real one. From the past. Not a replica. She has lots and you would be making history. Just try one. It won't hurt you. I can't wait till you do it. I would.
At last we have a genuine expert who simply speaks from knowledge and experience instead of the scripted presenters. Thank you Richard, it was a pleasure to hear you speak.
I just love all the characters that make up the Thames Mudlarks! You all bring something unique and special for the viewer experience! Also, your friendships and respect for each other is just lovely!
Thank you Nicola for hosting this interesting pottery expert. My goodness, can you imagine picking up a tiny piece of pottery and telling an entire story. Watching it twice! Fascinating.
Oh my stars🤩, what an absolute treasure Professor Hemery is👍👏!!! I could sit and listen to him lecture for HOURS on ceramics and pottery finds from the Thames foreshore. Never boring, always so historically informative and fascinating 😯😮🤔. And the William the 3rd coin, Nicola...what a amazing stroke of good fortune 🙌☺️. Just awesome 👏👏!!! Definitely marking my calendar in September for your talk 👍. That whole event sounds like a marvelous "trip back in time"😁. ✌️🕉️ to you, sister-friend.
😲 Richard is a treasure, in himself! What an enormous fountain of knowledge, so lucky to have him on a mudlark..👍 One would never dare pass a piece of pot, ever again! 😉 Thanks so much, Nic - love from Denmark 🌸 💕
I live in the USA. I just subscribed to your channel. I do a lot of fossil hunting, combing the beaches. Relic hunting, with my metal detector. Never heard of mud larking, until I watched you on RUclips. The variety of relics, you guys find along the river shore, is total amazing.
Excited for the talk! Great to hear there will also be pipes galore ☺️Feel fortunate to have managed to get tickets, I’m sure it will be a sell out! xx
The clay pipe stem marked with a “W” and “R”, was probably made by my gt-gt-gt-gt-gt grandfather, William Russell (c.1744 - April 1819). He made clay tobacco pipes at Wapping. He is recorded at Brewhouse Yard in 1771, Cow Yard in 1775, and “At the corner of Red Lion Street, Green Bank” in 1780. From 1780 to his death in 1819 most records simply refer to “Green Bank Wapping”, although there are references to him occupying premises in Gun Alley (1798-1910) and Grocer’s Yard (1808-1819). William was a Mason in The Castle Lodge at Mansell Street. At least three generations of this Russell family made clay tobacco pipes in this area.
I’ve given up TV, who needs it when I can watch wonderful, interesting videos like yours. You’re at the top of my list of finders, mudlarks on RUclips. Thank you.
Oh my goodness! The wild woman of Borneo dragged backwards through a hedge! What a visual! Lol! Thanks for the chuckle as well as the wonderful outing!
Such an amazing wealth of information from Sir Professor Richard Hemery! And he just knew everything off the top of his head! Wow! Great mud lark and the church bells were a pleasure to hear. From Texas (still staying at home for COVID reasons) I would like to thank you for the day out. It was lovely. 🦋
Richard is a walking encyclopedia. David looks like he is contemplating his next ocean voyage. Wonderful work, Nicola! Now I need to watch it all over again.
Richard Hemery is very educated on stoneware pieces! The most insignificant of finds had the most interesting history. Thanks you for hosting the fascinating Richard Hemery!
Oh WOW! Richard Hemery, to spend a day with him, what a dream! So intelligent and such a wealth of wonderful information. What a treasure indeed! Love his voice too! Could listen to him all day! A true blessing to our world!
Thank you for an enjoyable & informative episode. Good to see our Professor back out on the foreshore! It looked like lovely weather.. and a nice day for a lark. 🦢🌤
Thank you so much for this video. It answered the question that I have wondered about for many years. Back in the 1970s when we lived in Bonn, Germany my mother went to the cologne cathedral. They were doing some work on the cathedral, and I guess underneath it, and one of the workmen just handed a piece of gray pottery to my mother. I guess at the time they weren't doing a lot of archaeology. And so I've had this gray clay piece of pottery rim that I've carried around for decades. Based on your video I am willing to bet it is Roman, and doing a little research it turns out there was a large Roman Villa right in that area and now there's a German museum featuring Roman antiquities near the Cathedral! The piece looks very much like the grey piece Richard held up in your video. Very cool!
Always a pleasure to see you meet up with Richard, the Prof of Pottery, indeed. We learn so much from him and it never gets old. Loved your finds as well. David was certainly a good sport to light up for us. Looks like he was enjoying it, too. Best wishes for success with your presentation at Totally Thames.
James’ favourite thing was when you put the clay pipe in your sand sculptures mouth, he found it very funny. Before that the boar tooth was his favourite (he’s getting quite a collection of various animal teeth now 😝🤣🤷♀️) Thank you for sharing another great adventure with us xx
Thank you for a very interesting video on all the pottery all you mudlarkers find there. Richard is amazing! And David looked right at home smoking that clay pipe, I think.
Such an informative video, and expert Richard added great aplomb ! He mentioned about the development of pewter plates, and your viewers might like to know that Oliver Cromwell's plates were exchanged on his way to the Battle of Worcester. They are now on display at The Fleece pub, Bretforton, Worcestershire. The pub was owned by a member of my family, but is now owned and managed by the National Trust. Best of luck for your talk, I cant come this year, but know you will do a fabulous presentation. 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍
I just love how you take the little fluffy orphans home with you ! ..it shows you have such a huge heart ❤... wowww another fantastic piece of sand art and I loved the Canada geese ... your channel really does get me threw such anxiety ridden nights.. i find it so relaxing 😊..thank you...also its teaching us all so much history which is a good thing ! .. 😊😊😊❤
It always amazes me that no matter what the subject someone is knowledgeable about it. Richard Hemery was amazing to listen binging to life so much to such a small piece of broken pottery. I wanted to listen more and will do on his You Tube site. Having never seen anything about Mudlarking before I came across your postings, this has me hooked and to me this is the best one yet. Thank you for sharing your fascinating hobby with us.
Sure, looks more like a large claw. Richard is always so interesting, I enjoy the fact that he turns pottery shards into history. I really enjoyed your wanderings today, I woke up in a poor frame of mind this morning, but you two have helped lift the gloom. Great video as usual Nicola!
It's so amazing and unbelievable for someone from Canada, moi, to hear such dates in time finds and the word medieval. You are so lucky! Your friend is a well of information, so great! Thanks Nicola for bringing us along! How cool to see a pipe being used in the manner it would have been. Cute bunny! Stay safe and healthy! Cool art!!!
I’ve just started watching and the idea of being there on the foreshore, and having Richard there to share his knowledge, and his excitement about the fragments and ceramic objects around you would be FLIPPING AMAZING. Richard would be wonderful for private mud larking tours. I’d love to do that, absolutely love it. Also finding out from Richard if an item is everywhere or a special find...omg I’m so excited for you Nicola ❤ 🙂🐿❤️🌈
Fun. Informative. Once again a great outing to the shoreline of the Thames where Nicola shows us history that gets exposed daily. One of my favourite weekend shows. Thanks a bunch.
Richard is like a walking museum, his knowledge brings all the pottery sherds to life, an extra level of interest I could listen to him all day. I think I will invest in his book.
you make everything so interesting. I love learning. how fascinating to hold finds that care centuries old! Richard is fascinating to. Thank you. absolutely love watching your videos. x
The insert photos are incredibly helpful in understanding the uses of of pottery when only small shards remain. That coin was quite the find!
David, you smoking that pipe made my heart leap for joy. How wonderful! You smoked History. I love it, love it. I hope your name is David. Whoever smoked that pipe, I am in awe.
David smoke a real one. From the past. Not a replica. She has lots and you would be making history. Just try one. It won't hurt you. I can't wait till you do it. I would.
At last we have a genuine expert who simply speaks from knowledge and experience instead of the scripted presenters. Thank you Richard, it was a pleasure to hear you speak.
A tiny piece of pottery and we get an entire story including dates AND a picture of an example in tact. History at our fingertips. A fantastic lesson.
I just love all the characters that make up the Thames Mudlarks! You all bring something unique and special for the viewer experience! Also, your friendships and respect for each other is just lovely!
Thanks Theresa
Completely agree, I love all the Mudlarks of you tube ❤❤❤
He's so amazing. I learned so much from him. Thank you Nicola for the great video .

Thank you Nicola for hosting this interesting pottery expert. My goodness, can you imagine picking up a tiny piece of pottery and telling an entire story. Watching it twice! Fascinating.

It is really pretty amazing that something made of clay can survive being tossed around in the river for so many years.
