Though not seen in the photograph, two roundels sit to the rear of the building with 1960's Watson ventilators, akin to <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/334785">TQ6445 : Unconverted Oast House at Finches Farm, Five Oak Green Road, Five Oak Green, Kent</a>. The Watson ventilator replaced the kiln roof and cowl, and allowed more hops to be dried at once through a more controlled ventilation system. They were considered unattractive, and thus they were replaced with traditional conical roofs shortly after the photograph was taken. The Watson ventilator is a rare find now.
