Hop Kiln & Store at Slatch Farm, Bosbury, Herefordshire
This timber framed hop store and kiln were built in the 18th century. Herefordshire at one time had a large number of farms growing hops for use in the brewing of beer. In 1724 the writer Daniel Defoe described the extensive hop plantations of Herefordshire: "they boast, perhaps not without reason, that they have the finest wool, and the best hops and richest cider in all Britain … and hops they plant in abundance".
