Lettie Vera-Sanso builds for the storytellers history forgot. Her civic centre for “unconventional historians”—Mudlarks, metal detectorists, magnet fishers—embraces the overlooked, the discarded, and the found. Situated along the Thames, the building is constructed from materials pulled from the riverbed: iron scraps, broken ceramics, water-worn timber. These fragments become both archive and structure. Within, spaces for debate, display, and shared discovery invite a public retelling of the city’s past—one that includes the poor, the queer, the working-class, the migrant. Lettie’s work is layered like the mud of the river: full of ghosts, glimmers, and gaps. Her repair is historiographic, driven by curiosity and care for voices beneath the surface.
