The Cheapside hoard

[Whiteiceman]

Hi Guys

I'm from the UK and the other evening on BBC4 I watched an absolutely fascinating programme about the Cheapside hoard, which is comprised of a large quantity of 300-400 year old jewellery and gemstones found buried in central London in 1912.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!..................[there's 4 days left to watch it!]

If you're outside the UK I believe it is still possible to still watch this but you'll need Google's help to do so

Cheers Paul

PS: The gems and jewels are presently also presently being exhibited in the Museum of London until the end of April 2014, I'm hoping to get to see them before they go!

I heard about this hoard. Thanks for posting. I just love Elizabethan period jewelry.

Any Americans know how to see this?

Usually those channel 4 shows eventually get on to youtube, or they rebroadcast in North America on a BBC owned channel. Not sure about Asia or other continents though. I couldn't find it on youtube. . . yet though.

Have to keep checking -- I really would like to see it.

Hi,

To watch in the US, without a subscription based service, the only thing I could find that's free is this..........
