In the Hop Garden

[rpadam]

Once a familiar sight in these parts, a row of hoppers' huts where families of hop pickers (traditionally from East London) came to stay for a few weeks each autumn to earn some much-needed extra cash.

Many such huts were flimsy tin structures (as above) whereas others were built wholly or partly in brick (similar to the buildings below, although I'm not 100% certain that these were used for that purpose).
