Details
The following buildings shall be added to the list:- LYDD BROOKS WAY TR 0420 NW 1/10000 Herring hang to south of Brook House II Herring hang, c1881. Brick building in Sussex bond, tarred to rear. Gable ended with tiled roof having 2 rows of triangular ventilation slits. Gable ends have cambered openings with wooden doors. East elevation has two cambered openings with wooden doors. Inside were racks starting 8 feet from the floor up to the roof. 'Speets' (ie wooden rods of about 3ft 6 inches long and pointed at one end) with herrings threaded through the gill openings were placed on the racks 6 inches apart and 12 inches above each other. When the hang was ready, a fire was lighted on the floor and a resinous smoke dried and cured the fish. This is a rare survival of a process associated with the fishing industry.
