Power to the People

The Vauxhall FROG team has been awarded £1,000 of CBA Challenge Funding to fund their ongoing research into the prehistoric and industrial histories of the Vauxhall foreshore.

The Vauxhall foreshore is a fascinating but under-researched area of London, both with regard to the prehistoric remains; the Bronze-age structure and Mesolithic timbers, and the lithics and prehistoric pottery, and also in terms of its more recent industrial history, from the later eighteenth- to mid-twentieth centuries. The work carried out by the FROG is intended to bridge the gap between the land and the river and to produce an accessible guide to the archaeology on the Thames foreshore at Vauxhall.

The CBA funding will enable the FROG to purchase GPS and recording equipment for our ongoing mapping project, and archive material for research purposes. We would like to thank the Council for British Archaeology’s Challenge Funding, which is supported by English Heritage, for making this project possible, and thanks also to Nat and Gustav from the TDP team who have helped pull this together.

And now, to work!
