This is Salthouse Farm, Severn Beach. The location of this image had previously been (incorrectly) identified as being on the bank of the Wye at Chepstow, but I can now confirm it is on the bank of the Severn, in what is now South Gloucestershire! |

All these 'caravans' in the 'horseshoe' are actually old single-deck bus bodies! But the large double decker at the far end appears to be either an old tramcar, or two bus bodies end-to-end. |
