You don't only find old clay pipes. You can find coins, medical instruments, pottery, door knockers and all sorts. It's a lovely thing to do on the weekend in London. Just stick your wellies on and make lots of friends too.
Remember you need a valid licence from the Port of London Authority and you should always know your exits! Don't get stuck on the river after the tide comes in!

Lol damn that’s like UA-cam gold
Great video but wrong about Henry Tate making money from slavery, (14.25) as the Guardian reports
"Henry Tate was 14 years old when the act abolishing the slave trade in the British Empire became law in 1833. He made his money from a chain of grocery shops in Liverpool and in the 1870s from sugar refineries in Liverpool and London. He was never the owner of sugar plantations in the Caribbean or elsewhere. Throughout his life he also made many generous donations to charities, particularly those involved with health and education." Thanks to Henry for his great generosity....
Ah! Great...that's a relief! Yes, one should check facts before putting them in a film. I usually do but sometimes someone says something unscripted and it seemed to make sense at the time. Thanks for pointing that out. I did think it seemed a bit late for slavery but I just assumed he had inherited. Thanks for watching anyway!
Henry Tate made his money from refining sugar for consumption by people in the UK as pointed out by your subscriber. He also donated libraries in Brixton & Streatham in South London and was well thought of for his philanthropy.
Neither Henry Tate nor Abram Lyle was born when the British slave-trade was abolished in 1807. Henry Tate was 14 years old when the Act for the abolition of slavery was passed in 1833; Abram Lyle was 12. By definition, neither was a slave-owner; nor have we found any evidence of their families or partners owning enslaved people.
However, we believe the firms founded by the two men, which later combined as Tate & Lyle, do connect to slavery in less direct but fundamental ways. First, the sugar industry on which both the Tate and the Lyle firms (the two merged in 1921) were built in the 19th century was itself absolutely constructed on the foundation of slavery in the 17th and 18th centuries, both in supply and in demand. Without slavery, the British sugar industry and the wider Atlantic sugar industry would not have existed in the form and on the scale they did. Henry Tate’s career began as an apprentice to a dry goods merchant; Abram Lyle’s father was a cooper in Glasgow whose firm Abram Lyle joined. Both these precursor businesses were closely connected to slave-grown sugar, which formed the basis for developing the consumer market served by dry goods merchants and for fostering supporting industries such as cooperage that furnished the casks for transportation of sugar and rum. Throughout the period of slavery, sugar grown in the British colonies had been brought into Britain at lower tariffs than sugar from foreign producers, thus protecting British slave-owners from foreign competition in the domestic market.
Secondly, after the end of Britain’s own slave-economy, Britain’s sugar, including sugar for the Tate and Lyle companies, continued to come mainly from the Caribbean and South America. We do not know whether either sourced raw sugar from the slave-states of Cuba and Brazil which, after the equalisation of sugar-duties beginning in 1846, had become competitive suppliers to the British market and which remained slave-economies. Raw sugar imported from the British Caribbean by the Tate or Lyle companies in the post-slavery era would have been from estates established under slavery but worked at that point by wage-labourers and, in the case of British Guiana and Trinidad, by indentured labour, a system which lasted into the early 20th century. The monoculture of sugar, and the land-ownership and labour practices implemented by British firms that dominated the industry in the British colonies in the second half of the 19th century and most of the 20th century, contributed to the progressive under-development and impoverishment of the Caribbean.
@@anthonytaylor836 But the money he made was from British people buying sugar. So if he was exploiting anyone it was Brits rotting their teeth.
Monica and Anna! You couldn’t have found better mudlarking guides ♥️
That one madlarker and Joolz have great chemistry!
What a great bunch of people mudlarking along theThames
They're nice people and very knowledgeable too.
There are lots of great mudlarking channels on UA-cam.
You never speak “bad English”, in fact your videos are always EDUCATIONAL.
As well as entertaining
Ha ha! I edit out the bad English usually!
The mudlark lady was fascinating. Jools Filming and telling us what the building is. Flashes by so rapidly barely have you said what it is, Woosh its gone!!!
Thank you Joolz for your video! Really interesting to see all the things you can find on the banks of the Thames. Monica was a great addition to your video with lots of fascinating artifacts. Love your quote from King Lear where Gloster says "Aleck, the night comes on, and the bleak winds do sorely ruffle; for many miles about there's scarce a bush." Really sets the tone for the scene you were in. Thank you for all your wonderful videos! Looking forward to watching more! Thumbs up!
Thanks. I do like King Lear...
Great Vid .............. Super Mudlarker Monica ...............Include her more she's a great personality and very knowledgeable.
Spot on.
Hip Hip Hip Hurrah x 3 is the Navy way of Manning and Cheering Ship.
Hi Joolz..my Friday nights are watching your brilliant videos and drinking a glass or two of vino..don't miss the pubs anymore..cheers to you joolz!
Joolz-you must have a really interesting library!
What an interesting topic!
I've seen loads of people mud larking when I cross the bridges! 🌁
Great to see the Millennium Bridge too at the beginning! 😊
Cheers Anton. I still think we should do a film together!
long time no see,I 'm look forward to seeing You video and understand London culture.I'm come from China
I live Pinellas County, Florida USA and I ‘m fascinated by London and in doing some research I found the most odd thing…
Pinellas County, Florida 608 sq miles
Population 975,280
London England 607 sq miles
Population 8,908,081
Would you Guessed? London has 7,932,801 MORE people in just 1 less sq mile.
Wow!
I`m hoping to move from London to Pinellas Point soon!!
@@mjh5437 Just remember we’re close to the tropics so hydrate yourself (H2O)!!! LOL
@@mjh5437 Here in Florida our Governor has opened up the state, so it will be nothing like England... We also have some amazing beach’s here. Quite often Clearwater beach and Ft DeSoto beaches are in the top 10, sometimes the the top 2 beach’s in the world.
@@mjh5437 If you have a day to kill, I also recommend that you catch the sunrise on the east coast then make the 2-3 hour drive back here to see the sunset on our coast. I’ve done it a few times on my Harley.
Once again fascinating ! Loved the lovely female mud lark who as so enthusistic !
15:04 “how old is it!?!” Love it 😊. Best videos of London. 👍👍
Wow joolz this video is one of your best ones, the two mudlark ladies were amazing
The Mudlarking lady is an asset to this video.
All your videos are good, but this one was particularly good
Yes, I like them when they have a good theme and a varied cast of characters.
In 1967, on the shore of Lough Red , I found a Viking longship.
Perfect condition, brand new, used once and discarded by a film company.
A great, but different video from what you usually do, Joolz. Some really exciting finds on the Thames when the tide goes out, most certainly. Many thanks for this showing
Thank you soooo much for your vids. I have come across the pond a few times in my work in IT and loved London and England in general. Your videos bring to life so much that I wondered about! I spent a good amount of time in Harrow and Uxbridge as well in London proper and really enjoy the UK, Ireland and Australia. You are Brilliant! (as they say):) Hope to get back again soon. God Bless!
Another good one. Have a great 2019. I'm hoping it will be the best year yet for you. Rock on. You are valued far more than you think. We really appreciate you. Blessings Gx
Thanks Gerald. Yes, people are beginning to stop me in the street quite often now!
Yes, he is!
I really enjoy your videos. I have dreamed of visiting London for as long as I can remember. Your videos make me want to visit even more! Hopefully, that dream will come true! And, I will definitely book a guided trip with you! Thank you for the great videos!
Thanks Tammy. It will be great to meet you.
You are the best! Kuddos to mudlarker Monica!
I was recently laid-off from work two months ago, but I do plan on contributing soon as I become employed.
Brilliant guide Joolz
A Vlog full of charisma. Nice work. You releaved really interesting corners and hidden gems.
Here a new subscriber. Cheers!
Fascinating thank you 🤗
Fantastic! Priceless video! 😉👏👏
You crack me up! I hope you had a smashing holiday and I truly look forward to your antics! I always learn something new about London that I look forward in using once I get the heck out of Atlanta!!!
Sean
You will escape one day. I know it!
Great video, Love the door knocker !!!!
Me too!
I enjoy your videos, thanks for taking us along your walks!
Great video as usual Julian. London never ceases to fascinate me, and hope to return one day soon:)
absolutely brilliant . thank you
That was fun. If I was to ever cross the pond I would definitely enjoy a tour from you.
Brilliant. ....loved it 👍👍👍👍
Happy new year joozs nice on river look forward see more off on here
You’re a dashing fella now aren’t you? Love your show!😉❤️
Another great video, both narration and filming. I had never heard of mudlarking, it looks really interesting!
I call mudlarking here in the states...beachcombing...I find indian arrowheads on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, as well as pottery shards an fragments of dinnerware, would love to find a pipe one day. You guys have Great stuff, that sugar busting tea stirrer is Fabulous.
There was a nice Liberty Dime or something too but I didn't include it.
These short vidz R brilliant, Thanx Joolz.
I love all the information you give in your videos. Thank you!
Really cool insight into a unique hobby thanks very much for the video. Also i must give u a major thank you for recommending Tom Carradine to us, I went to his show a few days ago when on a quick city break, I adored the show along with everyone else there and he was a really nice chap:) keep up the great videos and I can't wait to see the next one.
Oh great! I nearly went myself. It's one of my favourite evenings.
Absolutely fascinating videos. Thank you.
Wonderful vlog,Jules. Just discovered mud larking on Christmas Eve.
This was so good, thank you.
Cheers! I'm glad you liked it!
Cheers, this is a cracking video!
Ausome video again Julian!
I went in october and I miss it already, you helped me so much with the harry potter guide and I want to thank you for that. Im from the netherlands but I already want to go back!!! With your videos im sort of back in London! Thanks!
Cheers! That's lovely of you to say.
Thirty plus years ago the Golden Hind was at San Francisco. I remember going to visit with a school group.
These videos make me miss London. But I like 'em :D
Love hearing you all speak. Thanks for the vid. Great info.
Louisiana, USA
Cheers Sylvia!
We love hearing you all speak too Sylvia, that's why I love hearing my girlfriend talk to me every night and day from way over there in Missouri. Once this Covid crap is under control I will be on a jet and on my way. Joolz is the best guide anywhere!! xxx
@@bobbybigboyyes
I know. Won't be soon enough!
Very cool! I love thus stuff. I find bits and bobs on the shores on Melbourne Australia but nothing this old! Thanks for making this.
Another fascinating video! What a lovely guest. Cant wait to visit. Cheers
😍I love this!💖
Loved it absolutely brilliant.
Really great! Thank you!😁👍
Interesting topic!!
Coooool Jooooooolz 👍🏻👍🏻
That was a fascinating video!!
I can’t get enough of your videos. You are fascinating!
Great video. Well done Monica and Anna too... 👍👌✌
Thanks. Yes, they're fab
Another great film, keep up the great work
Cheers!
As if we weren’t already excited about coming back, you had to go and make a brilliant mudlarking video to get us really good a worked about the trip!
Great! I'm glad you liked it. I find it very interesting.
Just to add, I walked along the Thames in late 1970s early 1980s, and I didn't need, or know of, a permit. Anyway,I used to pick up little metal printing plates, with words stamped on them, probably from a printers along the Thames somewhere. I don't have them, I threw them back in the water! I wish I'd kept them.
You probably know already, but the bricked-up windows in some of London's houses, are like that because in the 1700s, the Government introduced " window tax," so it robbed the houses of daylight, hence the phrase " Daylight Robbery." Great videos by the way.
Awesome video! It sounds like a hoot to mudlark along the thames.
It's a nice community of people and a pleasant way to see the city.
I don't know how i ended up here, but i like it. I suddenly feel like having a weekend in London ;)
Great! Glad it worked!
I like the quirkiness of this short film.
I must say, this video has subject matter that is quite interesting, and you're a rather lively chap for a channel host. By the way, that cheery mudlark you were with wouldn't happen to have a youtube channel of her own, would she? You're an awesome entertainer. Well done!
Thanks. Yes, I should be on TV really. Monika doesn't have her own channel but she has an instagram page. Perhaps I should persuade her to start one.
I think Monika would do well on youtube. She has an appealing personality suited for this sort of thing, just like you. Cheers!
Great stuff very interesting.
Awesome ! Thanks 👍
thanks Paul
Wonderful new video on mudlarking! And so much more in this one to make for a very informative, entertaining and "top pocket" find. We strolled the Thames near The Town of Ramsgate pub on our last visit thanks to one of your previous videos and saw some peeps rumaging around in the mud. And must say we also found the food very good at the Morpeth Arms you show in this vid. Thanks for a great video to start the new year.
thanks. Yes, I love the pubs along the river. I'm glad you're finding them useful!
That was fun!
I love this video!!
Always leave yourself a way out when searching the foreshore !!! You never can tell when the tide books have it wrong . Happened to me on the gulf coast if Florida in the states .was almost stuck over night but for the assistance of some fishermen .
You do find the most interesting thing to talk about Julian, another great clip. Oh and get well soon.
Thanks....I've been overdoing it lately. I need a rest I think.
Love these videos
I love your account! All the way from Hereford. Maybe you should come to some other places in England. The West has some wonderful places to offer, Ledbury, Malvern hills, bath, Wells etc. COME DOWN.
I actually have a crotal from the thames. We use it on the horses to warn hunters or also sometimes for reenactment
Love you Julesy ❤️ Can you do some more stuff on Highgate and the cemetery/swains Lane? X
Hi Sophie, yes, I've already done it! thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/ur3yuPOHZ_A/v-deo.html
London.. that’s my soul. I fucking miss London..
you'll be back!
You are marvelous.
What amazing tours Jools I have just stumbled across your vids.
I used to work in Mayfair back in the 90's at the Grosvenor House Hotel as a page/bell boy I just loved the Mayfair vid.
And I would like to tell you that last year me and some friends went under tower bridge and walked along the shore by the Tower of London and was finding items but never knew about needing a license awww off with my head.
P.s I will join Pay Pal and give you a contribution.
May I ask what job you do? And how you came by doing these vids?
You would nake a very good tour guide
Excelent as usual. Very enjoyable...
Thank you Joolz! I was wondering if people mudlarked there, was walking along the bank there and saw the bust of a statue and pillars etc and thought "Hmmm, I wonder if ppl go there?" I will surely try this next time I visit London.
I love mud Larkin . Never done it . Only watch on UA-cam’s . But I loves it .
This is how you do music in a video properly.
Oh, did you like it? You must tell Roberta. She lets me use her music sometimes.
Loved the your.
@13:16 is that a shadow fading in and out of *Jacob Marley* on that door knocker, lol. Good info and a great find there.
Possibly. Apparently the Jacob Marley knocker was based on one in Craven Street near where Dickens worked.
Casting on the big screen now Sir. Thank you for your videos.
Great! I even stabalized some of the shots just in case people watched on the big screen.
They always look good on the TV.
Great vid, mate!
Thanks you
Your videos are so fun :) I hadnt seen them in my feed for a long minute and I looked and there's all these new ones i'm going to back and watch. I did subscribe, but i now clicked the bell to make sure I know. I like to use the videos Ive seen as background when i'm working on stuff, keeps me in a good mood :)
Oh that's great! Well, why don't you click one of the playlists and it will play a bunch of them. I usual put them into Quirky Walks but maybe I need to creat new playlists. I have over 150 videos. You could click the videos tab and just look through them.
@@Joolzguides i actually do the playlist thing, its very handy :)
Me too. YT stopped recommending then for about a year!
Happy new year 2019!!! It was very educational video. I hope we see many of a kind this year.
I've filmed a few so I hope I can keep them coming.
Again a great video and I happened to be at the same spot a week ago (walking down from Borough Market towards the RB1 boat).
More by accident it was low tide and there were quite a lot of people mudlarking. Had no idea that you need a licence.
Yeah, I don't know all the details. I'm sure people do it without one but I think you need to really dig around to find good stuff.
@@Joolzguides I think you only need a permit if you want to start digging holes.
@@mjh5437 you need a license to mudlark in any form, eyes only, scraping, or detecting.
6:31 sounds like a great rendition of Summer of 69! Wish we could hear the full version.
Oh, that bloke is always there. I"m sure you will hear it when you come to London
I totally agree with you jules about the oysters, that slimy,grey blob, no thanks!!!
