Tall conical and pyramidal buildings, topped by white cowls or louvred vents, are a distinctive sight on the farms in the villages of Kent, East Sussex, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Surrey and Hampshire. InKent and Sussex, they are called 'oasts' or 'oast houses', and in other counties 'hop kilns'.Oasts and hop kilns are testimony to a specialised and important rural industry, and for hundreds of years, hops were a defining feature of the countryside. In these buildings, hops were dried, pressed, and bagged for despatch to breweries.
The 400-year evolution of the kilns and their machinery is pieced By the late 19th century, there were as many as 8,000 hop kilns and oast houses in England.This book is the first comprehensive account of the history of oasts and hop kilns in England and includes a comparison with hop drying buildings in Continental Europe and the USA.
