HAND PICKING AT NORTHLANDS

Year unknown

Hand Picking at a bin in a hop garden at Northlands.  The field is 'Dirty Hole'.

Frank, Tom and Mary Macey are in the foreground.  The boy and his mother (in light coat) stayed with Mary during hop picking.  Frank and Tom were both working in the oast at Northlands and were helping out during a lull in the drying.  In the background is Alf Hurley, who was the measurer, and the the woman picking in the background is his wife, Millie.
