Memoryscape logo Voices from the hidden history of the Thames

This sound walk is the result of an extraordinary drifting experiment along the river Thames. Cultural historian Toby Butler created a float out of driftwood and flotsam, then spent weeks following the float along the river, guided by the current. Wherever the float collided with the bank, he looked for someone to interview about their life and their relationship with the Thames.
