This looks like a white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) pictured at Chester Zoo in 1985, found in a set of random, aged negatives.

I would also say if was a white rhino, due the bigger neck to hold the much larger head up.
 
Yes it is a white rhino. They were kept at the end of the old rhino house nearest the elephants (where the warthogs are now).
 
Thanks to Taun and Pygathrix for confirming the species.

You'll probably note that I did my best to geocode the batch of old images uploaded last night, and that's exactly where I put this fellow. Good to have the location confirmed.
