More about this scene
Just up river from the bridge and the castle, this would appear to be a view from Wintour`s Leap of the beginning of the great Horseshoe Bend which encompasses the peninsula of Lancaut. The village of Lancaut can just be seen in the top right-hand corner. The woods on the left continue along the top of Piercefield Cliffs.

I hope I am not mistaken, but this building looks very much like the old Chepstow Cottage Hospital. I lived and worked at Sedbury in the 1970's and I am sure this is where we used to bring our youngsters (from SPS) to be treated.
My Grandfather, Reginald Cornish, is standing in front of the car (waiting to embark) in the centre of the photo. He was County Engineer for Monmouthshire. I still live in Chepstow and the buildings to the top and left were demolished after the Severn Bridge was built directly above the slip way.
