| Description: | Stilt men hop picking at Hermitage Farm, Barming, Kent. C/U base of stilts walking along. Various shots of men on stilts at work hop field in Spring. They walk on stilts so they can tie strings between tall poles that will support the hop vines when they grow over the summer months. Women work on the ground securing the other ends of the string. We see 60 year old Philip Black and his wife at work. | |
