An oast, oast house or hop kiln is a building designed for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process. They can be found in most hop-growing (and former hop-growing) areas and are often good examples of vernacular architecture. Many redundant oasts have been converted into houses.
They consist of two or three storeys on which the hops were spread out to be dried by hot air from a wood or charcoal-fired kiln at the bottom. The drying floors were thin and perforated to permit the heat to pass through and escape through a cowl in the roof which turned with the wind. The freshly picked hops from the fields were raked in to dry and then raked out to cool before being bagged up and sent to the brewery.

A few problems with this one - it doesn't bear looking at larger, so just - don't!! If I got the windows straight, the vase was crooked, and vice versa, hence the angle!! Nevertheless, the red flowers appealed and the red glass vase just looks great, so I thought I would share anyways!!
