The Thames Before Time
Berkshire is privileged to have a close relationship with the River Thames. But what is the history of the river and its people, fauna and the landscape? This talk looks at the way the river and the physical and human landscape have changed over the last two million years from the earliest inhabitants to the start of modern history. From the elephants who lived here 800,000 years ago, when it was a lot warmer, to the archaeological evidence of early settlements, find out more in this fascinating talk.
This talk is the third of three in the Winter Potpourri online talks series. Book all three talks in the series for £12.50 (members £10).
