Enjoyed this review, Mathew! And I liked how you pointed out the contrast between the mudlarkers of the past (driven by necessity) and those today (as you say, mostly doing it as a leisure activity). I've thought about this before in the context of other outdoor activities which seem to show a similar pattern over time, and perhaps even have acquired a relatively high social status now -- foraging, allotment gardening, beachcombing for example.
Thank you! And yes, you're absolutely right. I find the fashionability of foraging particularly distasteful, tbh. Although I should put my hands up and say that we have an allotment! (Technically, it's my partner's and she does most of the work, but I enjoy what it produces, so…)
