Stubble burning in Suffolk, 1970
This subject would have have been close to Edwin and Olive's heart as both were dedicated 'environmentalists' before the term was even invented. Now banned in the UK, stubble-burning as a means of clearing fields post-harvest was endemic in the 70s and 80s and caused massive amounts of air pollution. Badly managed fires commonly spread to adjoining land and even property was destroyed.

Summer House designed by Edwin Smith
Edwin's journey into Suffolk in the late summer of 1970 was to visit the house and garden of old friends for whom he had designed this characteristic garden feature. This photograph is an unpretentious record that combines two of his life-long passions - architecture and photography.
