Breakfast talks

With well over 2000 years of intensive development in the City of London, new building and development projects often uncover vital discoveries about the City's past. At this free breakfast talk, archeological experts from MOLA will present some of their most recent archeological discoveries and discuss what they have to tell us about the origins of the City. Areas of discussion will include some of the earliest Roman finds around Walbrook and news of the discoveries from the nearby excavations at the site of the Temple of Mithras; recent discoveries from developments along Cheapside, whose contemporary retail focus has strong roots in antiquity; the City's vital trade links through the Hanseatic League, uncovered through discoveries nearby at Cannon Street; and discoveries from archaeological work in the Lea Valley that illustrate the vital support it provided to post-medieval and industrial development in the centre.
