Book Description
For 400 years Kent was vividly associated with the cultivation of hops. The harvesting of the hop was done by an itinerant workforce drawn mainly from London’s east end, and gypsies coming from as far away as Ireland. Whole families were involved for women and children were allowed to pick on the fields, the little ones picking into umbrellas or boxes; men who had jobs came down at weekends. For the east enders it was an annual working holiday in the countryside. This book evokes the bygone world of hopping through a fascinating illustrated selection of tales, songs, anecdotes and social records covering 400 years of local history, featuring both the ‘rose-tinted’ image and the harsher reality of a distinctive aspect of Kentish life.

Full Circle

Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1491885084
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
As I began to put pen to paper, I had no idea how it would pan out. I’ve never written anything in my life, other than the odd Birthday and Christmas card. It is interesting, funny, sad, and a little bit different. It’s simply the story of me as a Boy, with a brilliant Mum, from a hard up working class family, growing up in the 1950’s, then making his way in life. Quite a bit of this book, is about my racing career, what I’ve tried, is write more about the Teams and other Drivers, rather than boring you with how good or bad I was, as I’m fully aware, that unless you are a Motor Racing fan, it would certainly do just that. What you read is what really happened, I just hope I will be able to paint a picture with my words. Hope you will find it a good read. Rick Shortle.
