[edit] Oast vs Oast House

I have referred to oasts rather than oast houses as that is what the people that worked in them called them. The pickers may have used "oast" or "oast-house" in conversation. Mjroots (talk) 13:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To do

Expand foreign locations - USA has a large hop growing area, as does China. Do they use oasts that would be recognisable as such? Add photos of foreign oasts. Expand coverage of West Midlands oasts - differences from South East England. Mjroots (talk) 19:22, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
