    The Waterloo Helmet
    Mar 1 2025
    The water flowing under Waterloo Bridge from the River Thames was filthy. Following the great stink of the 1840s, the Goverment were aware waste and pollution into the water was a grave concern. Particularly as the fumes from the stench polluted the otherwise fragrant air of the Parliamentary Estate.

The Helmet is made from bronze sheets riveted together and decorated with a flowing, hammered pattern. From the materials and the way it is decorated, it can be dated back to around 150-50 BC. The helmet is small and offers little protection; it’s fragile structure means even a light blow would render it more a hindrance than a protection. It is thought to be a offering to the water deities, but now rests easily, with much less flotsam, in the British Museum. The Helmet
