TO THE BREWERY
Loading hop pockets into a goods wagon
This shows the hop pockets being loaded into a goods wagon at Bodiam Station for transportation to the Park Royal Brewery in London. These pockets are clearly marked as 1945 and from Bodiam. The NH2 at the bottom indicates they came from No. 2 oast at New House Farm. Note the "ears" at the top of the pocket which helps to give something to grip on when handling the pockets.
