___________________________________
English oast houses, particularly those found in the picturesque Kent region of the UK, are iconic structures that represent a significant part of the area's agricultural and architectural heritage. Originating from the 16th century, these distinctive buildings, with their white cowls and conical roofs, were primarily designed for drying hops as part of the beer brewing process. Their unique design and functionality are deeply interwoven with the history of brewing in England, making them not just buildings but landmarks of a bygone era.
Kent, often called the "Garden of England," has been at the forefront of hop cultivation for centuries. This historical significance is mirrored in the abundance of oast houses that dot the landscape, standing as a testament to the region's erstwhile thriving hop industry.
These structures, typically featuring a round or square kiln and an adjoining stowage or barn, are ingeniously designed to maximize airflow and facilitate the drying process, showcasing the ingenuity of past generations.
Preserving these oast houses is of paramount importance for a multitude of reasons. Architecturally, they are a marvel of traditional construction techniques, embodying the craftsmanship and materials of their time.
Culturally, they serve as a tangible connection to the agricultural practices that shaped Kent's social and economic fabric and the wider UK. Moreover, they contribute significantly to the local identity and heritage, offering educational insights into the historical landscape of British brewing.
Efforts to preserve these structures are crucial in maintaining the region's historical continuity and architectural diversity. Many oast houses have been thoughtfully converted into homes or businesses, ensuring their survival while respecting their historical essence. This adaptive reuse safeguards the buildings and breathes new life into them, allowing them to remain relevant and functional in the modern world.
Preserving oast houses in Kent is vital for honouring the UK's rich agricultural and brewing history. These structures are not merely relics of the past but are living monuments that continue to tell the story of a region's heritage and traditions.
By maintaining and cherishing these historical edifices, we ensure that future generations can appreciate and learn from the architectural ingenuity and cultural significance that they embody.

No problem putting a pocket in 9" brick

[@SkillBuilder]

That is true but there will be a lot of pockets and the joist will need to be slid in from outside whereas a hanger allows it to be dropped in.
