Hi Re Camp ...
It belonged to the local council and you payed a weekly rent for it ! it had no running water to the Caravans and no sewerage to them , every thing had to be taken to the site toilets and you had to carry every drop of water  for eating and cleaning..this was 1960 and I did it for two yrs.
I and my husband lived in a 22ft Caravan with four children under 6yrs !now thats hard !! and it was a new Van  as well
My two boys went to the Q ferry School,
 it reminds me of Max Boyce *Dew  its hard* .. Yet it was me complaining to the school when my son caught nits :)
Oh I forgot the dog and cat as well.no getting a council house in  those days because you had kids
Bye the way we are still together 54yrs this 14th Nov   8)
The  road was the Gladstone Way  Hawarden Rd....
