It’s the site of the Thames River police\, which was is the oldest police force in England. It was originally set up to protect West India company ships from theft in the Pool of London\, and was part funded by the West India Company. The West India Docks and later the London Docks (including Tobacco Dock) were built to further control the handing of goods imported from British colonies. It’s also historically been a very diverse community\, partly because of its proximity to the port and the docks\, with a large Black population in the Georgian period\, mostly sailors\, but also earlier\, sailors from the Low Country\, French Huguenot refugees and Irish communities in the area. That’s just a skim\, there’s lots more to tell… \nHow long would the session be? \nTypically last between 90 minutes and two hours (on the foreshore). \nWhere would it take place? \nMeeting point: outside Wapping Pub • Town of Ramsgate \nThe Town of Ramsgate is a friendly and welcoming pub set in the heart of East London\, in the centre of the ancient hamlet of Wapping.townoframsgate.pub \nForeshore awareness  \nAccess to the foreshores are usually specific and require an amount of mobility (which is not always accessible to all sadly) \nThere are a limited number of places from which to access the Thames foreshore. The most common access points are river stairs\, although some sites can be accessed via slipways or ramps. \nTDP always send H+S info beforehand and will be present to supervise and lead us safely around the foreshore. This is reliant on the tides so there isn’t much flexibility on when we can run these sessions! \nDate \nSaturday 5th August (again based on the tides) 11:00 – 13:00 \nWhat would the session involve? \nOur walks typically include a short H&S briefing\, an introduction to the site and its history\, and a walk along the foreshore to look at some of the key features that can be seen. We give participants the opportunity to look for finds\, although this is not the focus of the walks. \nClothing \nFor your visit we would recommend that sensible clothing is worn. We are aware that most schools have a uniform policy; however\, the foreshore can be muddy and our advice is that children wear clothes that they can get dirty. In the winter months\, we would recommend warm clothing be worn as it is often colder on the more exposed foreshore. In the spring and summer the reflection of the sun off the water increases the risk of sunburn – think about hats and suncream. \nFootwear \nSturdy and practical footwear is best for the foreshore due to its uneven nature. We suggest wearing wellington boots or sturdy trainers that the children won’t mind getting muddy. \nHow many can attend \nWe have an upper limit on our walks of 25 people (including children ages 8+). We were hoping this would include MOLA staff and WITC network to allow for genuine chance to interact with one another. But depending on the response you get we will obviously prioritise the spaces for WITC first. \nThe session is free for all to attend. \nTHIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW BOOKINGS!
