I love this photo. I came across it when I was looking at some old pictures from the Museum of English Rural Life's wonderful archive collection. It was taken in 1942 and shows 80-year-old New Forest smallholder Ian Drodge with his wife and granddaughter. It's one of a whole host of shots from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s which we'll be publishing in Farmers Weekly's 75th anniversary issue on October 30.
