Re: Where could this be then...

May not have nailed the location but I can tell you a bit more about the wagon...

From the biog of the founder of the Bethel movement:

The revival tide rolled on through the cotton towns of Lancashire and in many of them Bethel churches were formed.

During this time the ‘Bethel Full Gospel Messenger’ magazine was launched and Gospel caravans were purchased for rural missions and a Bible College and Missionary Training Centre was opened in Bristol in 1931.


Seems Gospel caravans had been around for a while. Found these 2 photos on ebay showing Church Army caravans from 1904 and 1907, plus one from the John Rylands library in M/c from the late 19c.
