More about this scene
During the first half of the 20th century, whole families from the poorer parts of London travelled down to the hop picking areas of Kent for a week or two's 'holiday' whilst earning money hop picking in the fields. Many camped on site, and have fond memories of halcyon days spent in the bright summer air. These workers seem so neatly dressed that they have surely put on their best clothes for the photographer!
