EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of community and resilience as three women from Stepney, East London, engage in the seasonal tradition of hop picking in the lush fields of Kent, circa 1911. The women, dressed in their simple yet practical attire, are deeply focused on their work, their determined expressions reflecting the physical demands of the task at hand. Hop picking was a popular way for urban workers, particularly women and children, to earn extra income during the summer months. The women of Stepney, many of whom were known as 'East Enders,' would travel to rural areas such as Kent to work in the hop fields. The long hours and arduous labor were offset by the camaraderie and sense of adventure that came with the experience. The presence of their local vicar, Reverend R Wilson of St. Augustine's, Stepney, adds an unexpected element to this scene. His involvement suggests that the community was closely connected, and that the church played an active role in supporting its members, both spiritually and practically. The women are seen carrying a large jug, likely used to collect the hops they have picked, adding a sense of rhythm and coordination to their work. The rolling hills and verdant fields of Kent provide a stark contrast to the bustling streets and crowded tenements of Stepney, offering a brief reprieve from the urban grind. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, showcasing the determination and resourcefulness of the women of Stepney as they embraced the challenges of rural life and the seasonal rhythms of hop picking.
