FROG's Delight.

A stroll along the river and I spotted these wooden posts that echoed the city behind.

The River Thames has played a pivotal role in the development of London, and the city’s long history is evident at low tide in the archaeological remains on the Thames foreshore. This is nowhere more so than at Greenwich, the location of the Tudor royal Greenwich Palace. However, the foreshore is a very vulnerable environment, at threat from damage and erosion due to sea level changes, boat wash and storm surges.

The FROG is the Foreshore Recording & Observation Group who's members have been monitoring, recording and researching the archaeology of the Thames foreshore across London since 2008.
