        ''Oppin' makes you 'Earty!"

        Don your best 'Mockney' accent for a seasonal visit to the Kentish hop fields.

        Non-Fiction 1925 1 mins Silent

        Overview

        Topical Budget dons its best 'Mockney' accent for this quaint - and rather beautifully photographed - visit to the Kentish hop fields. Hop-picking season was an annual escape for working-class Londoners, keen to get out to the countryside and earn a little extra cash to boot. The film shows the "glorious life" enjoyed by East-Enders young and old, cooking and frolicking in the open air. Most charming is the shot of an "Infant Bacchus", ensconced in the bountiful beer crop.
