Hop pickers in Guestling. Real Photograph postcard, c.1910. Tiny bumps to the corners but otherwise in perfect condition. Written-on but not posted. I assumed that Guestling is in Kent but it is in fact in East Sussex (3 miles from Hastings). I bought it with other hop picking paraphernalia which was from Kent. Pencil drawings of \u2018Hop Pickers,\u2019 1910.<\/a> is a drawing that I\u2019ve listed on this site and it came with the postcard.
\nAt the time – c. 1900-50, many London families from the East End went to the Kent (and East Sussex) hop fields as a paid holiday. The National Trust\u00a0http:\/\/nationaltrust.org.uk<\/a> has, at Scotney Castle in Kent, a story of someone who picked hops nearby in the 1950s.
\nHop Pickers in Guestling is a lovely photograph. I was very pleased to buy it in a parcel of South Coast related ephemera from a friend who came to stay for a few days. We share a taste for old photographs and postcards with romantic associations. Again, I nearly kept this but I must sell things, especially as I get older and increasingly think to myself:\u201dWhat are you keeping things for?\u201d This may not be a good USP but it\u2019s how I feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
