Hop Picking

I have good memorys of Chartham. My family used to go hopping every year. We were on a Mr Finn's farm untill the late 1950s when he stopped the hand-picking. I would like to get some photos of the hopping huts we stayed in for 6 weeks. When Mr Finn ceased picking we went down the road to another farm, it was called Robson Farm but later it became Hulmes Farm. I still go back to re-live the good old times, allthough it has changed so much. We stopped hand-picking on Hulmes Farm in the late 1970s.
Don.
