Note from Wikimedia Commons: Found 3 more of Kent’s libraries today (on our way back from Tunbridge Wells). Sunday, so all were closed, but all were bigger than they looked when I peered through the windows. I didn’t see the big red ‘Kent’ sign until we went past this building - but its not just a library, there seem to be several other organisations and businesses in The Hop House. A.I.-written description: Red brick, two-storey building with dormer windows and moss-covered pitched roof. White window frames, entrance ramp and parking visible on an overcast day.
