Full Description

Former site of hop pickers’ huts to the north of Lamberhurst Farm. The building is first recorded in the 2nd edition OS Map, suggesting it was constructed during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. A small section of the building is recorded in the 3rd edition OS, though it is missing entirely from the 4th edition and 1940s aerial photographs, suggesting that the building was gradually demolished during the first half of the twentieth century.

Identified by the Historic Farmsteads Survey. (1)
