EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Skilled men walked the hopfields on huge stilts to string the hop poles Kent 1937" we are transported back to a bygone era of English rural life in the 1930s. The image captures a remarkable scene from an agricultural harvest, where skilled farmers can be seen gracefully walking through the hopfields on towering stilts. These talented men, seemingly defying gravity, skillfully maneuver their way between rows of lush green hops as they diligently work to string up the hop poles. Their tall stature not only allows them to reach great heights but also grants them a unique perspective over the sprawling fields below. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia and takes us down memory lane, providing us with a glimpse into an industry that was once integral to England's agricultural landscape. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness exhibited by these hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to farming. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how much has changed since those days while appreciating the rich history and traditions that shaped our rural communities. This image is part of TopFoto's collection "Between The Wars" which beautifully encapsulates moments like these from an era marked by resilience and determination amidst challenging times.
