EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a typical London family amongst the verdant hop fields of Kent, circa 1905. The annual journey from the crowded East End to the rural idyll of the Kentish hop gardens was a cherished tradition for many working-class Londoners seeking respite from the city's grime and congestion. The entire family, including young children, would travel together to help with the vital task of picking and drying the hops, which were essential for brewing the nation's favorite beverages. The hop poles, laden with their green cones, create a striking contrast against the blue and white striped shirts and dresses of the family members. The father, wearing a flat cap and carrying a basket, looks intently at his daughter as she reaches up to pluck the ripe hops. The mother, her arms full of bundles, smiles warmly at her husband and the other children, who playfully dodge in and out of the hop poles. This heartwarming scene represents not only a vital economic contribution to the agricultural industry but also a cherished family bonding experience. The memories of these trips to the hop fields would stay with these Londoners for a lifetime, providing a welcome escape from the urban reality of their daily lives.
