Full Description

Late nineteenth century hop pickers huts, east of Lower Ensden Farm.

The second edition Ordnance survey map shows three rectangular buildings, parallel to the field boundary. There are five small structures associated to them and could be toilet blocks.

A fourth building, to the north east, with an associated smaller structure is shown on the third edition Ordnance Survey (1907-23).

The aerial survey of the 1940s shows an additional structure to the south and one, to the north, on a forty-five degree angle to the alignment of the earlier structures.

These structures have been demolished before the production of the 1990 aerial photographic survey.

Identified by the Historic Farmsteads Survey. (1)
