EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to September 1935, capturing a moment of hard work in the hops houses at the press. The image transports us to Whitheads Farm in Paddock Wood, Kent, where hops picking was an essential part of the local industry during the 1930s. In this snapshot, we see a group of men diligently tending to their tasks amidst towering stacks of hop bales. Their weathered faces tell tales of years spent working on these very fields, their expertise evident as they handle each hop with care. The air is filled with anticipation and the unmistakable aroma that only comes from freshly harvested hops. The focus falls on one man operating a fascinating machine - perhaps a press used for extracting precious oils or juices from these delicate flowers. His hands move swiftly yet methodically as he feeds bundles into its hungry mechanism. It's clear that this process requires both skill and strength. This photograph not only captures a significant moment in time but also serves as a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship involved in beer production during this era. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how far our brewing techniques have come while appreciating those who paved the way for modern-day advancements. With its historical significance and timeless appeal, this print invites us to reflect on an industry that has shaped communities and delighted palates for generations – all through the humble hop plant.
