Hop Picker's Huts Wateringbury

Another great Postcard found on Ebay showing a fraction of the influx of hop pickers to Wateringbury around September time each year. This is probably a hand coloured photograph showing hopper huts that I never knew, so were probably demolished in the very early fifties. They stand on the riverbank behind the railway station with the shunting shed clearly visible top left behind. Further up the hill the brewery can be seen.  It looks as though its taken from the bridge.
