Scale model of historic ships on the Thames, a working foreshore with slipways and their associated dockyard.
Thames through Time is back in Birkbeck, but the MA Archaeology & Heritage student Christopher Snary @bbkhistorical.bsky.social only brought in a scaled model of the Thames historical dockyards that he has made! Archaeology and model-making, itβs important!!
