London built on the blood of slaves This very interesting article was posted by Digital Digging on Facebook. The Romans as cruel oppressors seems to be written out of history yet totally believable. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-24021618-london-built-with-the-blood-of-british-slaves.do |

This newish exhibition at The Museum of London has an amazing collection of mesolithic, neolithic, bronze and iron age artefacts - together lots of very good information on the periods and the history of the Thames Valley and the area of the city in particular.

London Stone (Standing Stone / Menhir) — News |
On the move again?"It now appears the the Stone will be on its travels once again, although this time not across the road, but a few doors along. Diamond Geezer, one of the prolific London bloggers, has been delving into the planning application from the owners of the building where the stone now resides:" More here - http://heritageaction.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/the-london-stone-on-the-move-again/ |

The Clerk's Well (Sacred Well) — Fieldnotes |
|
If you wish to inspect the well at close quarter. Contact the local historian at Finsbury Library. They have a key and will open the space by arrangement. There is little about any pre-historic provenance but the little exhibition next to the well is interesting. The room housing the well is suffering from subsidence and will undergo restoration and be closed for a period soon. |

London Stone: Making a MythLecture. Museum of London, Tuesday, 13 April. 6.30-8pm. Free. "John Clark has recently retired from a long and distinguished career as Senior Curator (Medieval) at the Museum of London. In this talk he investigates the strange history of London Stone, the mysterious block of limestone that currently sits, ignored by passers-by, in an alcove in the wall of a building opposite Cannon Street Station."

Boadicea's Grave (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
Stuck in London on a two day Finance Course (yuck), blue skies and September sunshine warranted a tube ride to Hampstead and a walk over the heath. The barrow is sadly fenced off, but is very large and prominent. It's covered with trees and surrounded by vegetation, so the full form is not easy to see. There may be a ditch around the barrow. As mentioned below, it's well worth the trip on a nice day for the views from Parliament Hill. |

London Stone (Standing Stone / Menhir) — News |
London Stone to cross the roadThe American property developer Gerald Hines is trying to persuade the City of London authority to let him re-house the stone in the foyer of the redeveloped Cannon Street station. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23720677-details/Smart+new+home+for+stone+that+s+steeped+in+history/article.do It's true that this is nearer to it's original horizontal position - albeit several meters up in the air from the original ground height where it stood. There hasn't been any movement on the proposed relocation of the stone to the Museum of London and almost anything would be preferable to the way it is currently housed. |
