Hi
The stepped roof seems familiar.
Comparing the apparent door height (guessing at where the bottom of the door is) I would think that van is very close if not over the maximum towing length. so I wonder if it isn't actually a mobile holiday home van.
It would certainly have been a challenge for that Pop to pull.

Hi
A couple of post war possibilities.
Longmoor Military Railway where army personnel were trained in all aspects of railway operation, whether thhat included transhipment I don't know.
Also there were a number of ammunition stores with rail access ie

Thanks for the added info.

Also new to OCC this afternoon, a 1960s snapshot of a parked Morris 1100 outside a contemporary bungalow "somewhere in the UK".
