Secrets of the Thames & Time and Tide film screening

Beyond the royal landmarks of Greenwich lies a fading industrial shoreline. As steel and glass towers rise to replace the grit of the past, Time and Tide offers a captivating and thought-provoking exploration of landscape and identity.

Helping to unlock and preserve Greenwich's forgotten histories is Nicola White, a mudlark, artist and influencer whose YouTube explorations have attracted over 20 million views. Through her discovery of riverbed artefacts – ranging from a 1970s bracelet to a 17th-century skeleton – Nicola reconnects us to the voices from the past embedded in this industrial landscape.

This edit reflects the recent decision by Historic England to schedule the Enderby Wharf cable gear as a monument, making the screening particularly timely.
