Solid Ground Brings Untold History to Central London with the Shad Thames History Trail
As part of Untold History, this new trail offers an immersive way to explore the rich heritage of the Shad Thames through 6 interactive info spots.
Each station features a QR code, allowing visitors to scan and discover fascinating stories from times gone by, including the Frost Fair on the Thames and the Great Fire of Southwark.
The Shad Thames History Trail is part of our ongoing mission to connect local communities with the rich history and heritage of the places around them. By showcasing the stories behind the architecture and landmarks, we hope to inspire pride in the local community and encourage a deeper connection to the city’s past.
Since its inception Untold History has aimed to highlight the often-overlooked historical gems of the place Solid Ground covers. Our aim is to use creative, interactive experiences to bring history to life, enabling people to learn and engage with the past in a fresh, accessible way.
The trail not only educates but also invites visitors to appreciate the cultural significance of Shad Thames, which has witnessed centuries of change. From its time as a bustling industrial hub to its transformation into a vibrant cultural quarter, the area’s past is rich with stories waiting to be discovered.
We look forward to continuing to expand Untold History across the UK and offering even more ways for communities to engage with their heritage. By embracing modern technology and creative storytelling, we are making history more accessible than ever before.
