NATALIE BENES   (Dip Yr 1)         The Company of Mudlarks, Southwark

A secret society — London’s mudlarks — thrives by scavenging antiques and more prosaic debris along the banks of the Thames. Here they are given a new base on a jetty in Southbank, hidden beneath a vertical storage tower for our semi-desired objects, as well as a new auction house run no doubt by flashy guys who are strangers to the taxman.
