The objects displayed here come from across Southwark and represent the fascinating range of lives and stories that history and archaeology can bring to life. Many of them relate to the everyday lives of Londoners, but can also tell us something about the wider world they lived in. Some items are evidence of leisure or play, others of faith or belief, and many speak of homes and domestic activities. Together they offer glimpses into an evolving picture of the past, one which is being added to by the archaeological investigations at The Liberty today.
