Old father Thames..

A few things here before I forget them.  The museum of  London, Docklands is hosting an exhibition on London's missing rivers. They do not cover the River Wogebourne on the map and there is precious few things on the Quaggy as their map seems to ignore most of south east London.

But what there is is interesting. Stuff found by Mudlarks on the Thames, toy guns, a doggo's skull and a fish basket all pulled from the foreshore, mainly of the Fleet, which you may know from fleet street. Also quite a bit of Roman stuff too. So if you want to see plates cursing people and a tiny glass ring, you are well catered for.

There is a bit on the River Effra down in Brixton, and the politicizing that went on, to get it recognized, or at least brought above ground. 

I actually have a scan of the leaflet they used, that I pulled out of recycling a few years back. So I'll put it up here for you to look at.

This and an old copy of Women's Weekly from the Sixties.  This campaign I learned was started early in the 1990's and went absolutely nowhere.

In other news both Shortwave mysteries are typed up and need proofreading more so in the UK reprint which as I've said before is shockingly bad, for a printed book. So expect them up soon.
