Silhouettes Under the Bridge

October 1, 2025

·

A man and a woman look along the shoreline of the Thames in London, probably for old pieces of pipe which are common along there.

Above us was the modern Blackfriars Railway Bridge, and of course off in the distance is the London skyline.

@donncha Mudlarking I think that’s called, when they go out at low tide looking for ‘treasures’.

@HarriettMB that's right! One of my friends I was with found a small piece of ceramic pipe. Google Lens said it might be from the 16th or 17th century I think. Apparently they're very common.
