Title Hop Picking in Newton, Dilwyn
Description Black and white photograph of two ladies hop picking in Newton, Dilwyn. The record of the number of bushels picked was recorded on a tally stick. Here the part of the stick held by the picker was matched to that held by the tallyman and a notch cut on the edge of both. A notch on one edge would indicate five bushels picked, the other edge a single bushel.
