Bathing machines and boats

What we know about this image :

Bathing machines on the sand no doubt waiting for those wishing to venture into the water! A group of men are talking while one man leans on a boat as another sits astride a horse.

Looking to the rear centre of the view the large house on the north corner of the Green is visible. Belonging to the Daniels family the house was later demolished.
