Judging by the the vehicles and the dress of the onlookers this was probably taken just after the war in the late '40s. Observe the art-deco architecture to the right of the picture. The Seddon is clearly a pre-war or wartime austerity model. The Guy Arab 2 or 3 double-decker looks post-war. No vehicles bear the war-time headlamp masks. I would suggest that the Seddon driver misjudged the kerb, which may have been higher than we can see, and stopped in time to avoid tipping over. The wrecker is clearly righting the trailer. I’m sure someone will come up with another completely plausible explanation! Robert
