6 November 2005 Sorry for the lack of recent postings.
Today there is a series of photos on erecting a hop garden.  These can be found at Erecting a Hop Garden under Winter Preparation.
These photos along, with many more, came from Mick Breeds who collected them as part of his studies in the early 1960s.  I would like to thank him for his efforts in copying them and sending them to me as well as letting me have descriptions and the text of his studies.  Hopefully I will be able to put them on the site soon.
His brother, John, has also told me their father (Denis) is in the back row of the 1956-57 photo of Bodiam Football Club.
