3 September, 1940
Hop pickers' children from the East End of London seen hiding in a slit trench at the edge of a field whilst watching a 'dog fight' overhead during the Battle of Britain.
(Possibly at Beltring Hop Farm in Kent, England.)

Photo by John Topham (for 'Life' magazine), this was his most famous image. It was used in a propaganda campaign alongside the slogan "Help England And It Won't Happen Here" which helped to convince millions of Americans to join the war against Germany.

'Hop Picking'
For centuries, the work was done by Londoners who flooded into Kent at the end of every summer to pick the hops, prized by brewers, which were then the county's most important crop.

At its height, from the Twenties to the Fifties, about 200,000 East Enders - mostly women and children - made the annual pilgrimage down into the Kentish hop gardens, filling the 'hopper's specials' trains which left from London Bridge station in the early hours of the morning.

Those who couldn't afford the train ticket would walk the 36 miles to the hop gardens at Paddock Wood, Maidstone and Faversham, sleeping by the road when they got tired.
So popular was the annual hop that it was known as the 'Londoner's holiday', and for many East Enders it was the nearest to a holiday they ever got.
