Everything You Didn't Know About Barnacles....Until Now!! Lost & Found with @ThamesFestivalTrust

Video Description

Recently I spent a delightful morning on the Thames foreshore with Samiha Hassan making the first of a series of ten films for the Lost and Found in the River project (instagram @lostandfoundintheriver) produced by the Thames Festival Trust @ThamesFestivalTrust in which 10 heritage trainees were given the mission of revealing untold histories of Maritime Greenwich and Deptford through ten of my mudlarking finds. Samiha chose to study a group of seven barnacles and I so enjoyed learning about the journey that these barnacles took Samiha on. The essay which Samiha wrote "Barnacles - The Bane of Our Being" can be found in the Lost and Found book which you can download from the @thamesfestivaltrust website for free (see link below). You will also find the other 9 essays written by each of the trainees about their chosen mudlarking find. The book also contains the beautiful photos of the finds by photographer Hannah Smiles - who knew that barnacles could be so beautiful! The Lost and Found project is produced by the Thames Festival Trust and made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thank you Samiha for imparting your barnacle wisdom and drinking tea with me on a drizzly foreshore whilst doing so. Look out for a video of our chat coming out soon on my YouTube channel.
