A Mudlarker since 2020 Sean finds the peacefulness of the foreshore and the magic of The River Thames, giving up its secrets on every tide to be quite spiritual. Bone dice, beads, Pilgrim Badges and coins are some of the treasures that he has added to his collection. Trade Tokens are the things that he loves the most. Uncovering the lives and stories of the traders who issued them over 350 years ago, during one of the most turbulent periods in our history. There were over 15,000 traders who issued tokens between 1648- 1672, over 5,000 issuers in London alone. This is their story. Sean will bring his collection for us to see
