Severnside was definately registered in Gloucester.
As for the location its certainely not Ipswich.
I am also pretty sure its not Colchester either!
Maybe Norwich, not sure on that though.

Thank's for ruling Ipswich out as a Location.
I can do the same for Norwich having never taken a picture on the river their.

I have revised my opinion regarding the location of this slide. I could well be Colchester after all.
Looking at the buildings in the background, I believe this could be the turning basin at the top of the Hythe. Still not 100% sure but I intend to investigate further.

Sorry to be so long winded in repying I am almost certain that this is as you suggested the old turning basin at the Hythe Colchester I believe the buildings in the background are the old Colchester lathes factory now gone
