This is Benjamin Baker who lived Essex. He was born in 1858 and died in 1928.
He was famous for growing very large pumpkins.
If this old photo could be improved I would be delighted.
Thank you for looking

Here's another try from me.
After re-reading your post, I see you said he grew pumpkins. I initially just looked at the picture and thought they were just a bunch of various melons. I changed the colour of the fruit in this one to reflect the pumpkin theme.
