Not a metalled road. - probably knackered & closed by now, but
it used to be a beautiful drive in the Summertime.

Ex-Great Western or BR(W), that one ^^^
I've got loads to post but haven't been arsed lately. However
here's one that I saw today. It's not a van but is a rail tank
from the 1920s. I spotted it in a haulier's yard at Hoyland,
near Barnsley.
How can I tell it's a former rail tank and not just a storage
tank? The dome, with its filler lid is a dead giveaway and see
the double rows of rivets (one just above the second brick
support from right)? Well they're for baffle plates to prevent
the contents sloshing around too much.

It looks like it's been used as a diesel tank for refuelling
wagons at one time.

From the old thread, this tidy looking van is on the entrance to
a byway on the Marlborough to Swindon road
