Last week Harry Budinger, 86, opened the frame for the first time ever and discovered a photo hidden behind it of a farmer at work in his field.
“I am flummoxed by it,” said Mr Budinger. “We have no idea who it is or where it was taken, but being Suffolk born and bred, I know it is a Suffolk scene and they look like Suffolk Punch horses.”
The photo of Michael was taken in 1950 when he was just a year old, he is now 65.
“It was something the wife had done,” the grandfather explained. “At that time people used to come around the house and take photos.
