River Hunters
The Colchester Siege
Season 2 Episode 5 of 6
Beau Ouimette, Rick Edwards and Gary Bankhead travel to Colchester, Essex, to find evidence from the second English Civil War in what became the longest siege in British history. Finds include a short-barreled Carbine gun which was commonly used by the Cavalry in the 1600s and a horse stirrup believed to be from the 1648 siege due to it's age and position on the river bank.
River Hunters airs on Sky History at 12:00 PM, Friday 4 October. (Subtitles.)
