Kent's hop fields are now a very rare sight - this road, up from
Sandhurst, has several hop fields on either side. The location is
at a public footpath near two hop fields. 
Kent hop types famous for their flavour are Fuggles and Goldings
- these look like Goldings. There are one or two micro breweries
around Kent and Sussex that brew with Fuggles and Golding hops -
The Swan at West Peckham is well worth a visit.
In the good bad ole days whole families of East Londoners
travelled to Kent in September for their annual holiday picking
hops - it was thirsty work and most of their pay was spent in the
local ale houses.
