EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of hop picking in Cranbrook, Kent, England, in the year 1905. The image shows a group of Londoners making their way towards the railway station, their baskets filled with freshly picked hops. The women, dressed in their Sunday best, appear weary yet determined as they carry the heavy loads, while the men support their families with strong and steady strides. Hop picking was a traditional seasonal activity that attracted thousands of workers from urban areas to rural Kent every year. The long, hot summer days were spent in the hop fields, carefully picking and sorting the hops, which were then used to make beer. The work was labor-intensive and required great attention to detail, as each hop flower had to be handled carefully to ensure the best possible yield. The Londoners in this photograph were likely among the many families who made the annual pilgrimage to Kent to earn a living during the hop harvest season. The railway station would have been their gateway to the countryside, and the end of a long journey home after a hard day's work. The image captures the sense of community and camaraderie that developed among the hop pickers, as well as the determination and resilience required to complete the task at hand. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of hop farming in Kent and the important role it played in shaping the social and economic fabric of the region. It also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the people who worked in the fields, and the sense of tradition and connection to the land that continues to thrive in rural communities to this day.
