I see what you mean about Gillott-style brake bridge,
The only reason I'd be skeptical that this is a Gillott is the chunkiness of the lugs. Gillott was well known for his attention to detail on lug filing, and most of his frames that I've seen have really nicely feathered lugs (e.g. mine)....
your frame is evidently a 40's/50's lightweight, but my guess would be a bigger volume producer (e.g. Holdsworth, Claud Butler, Freddy Grubb, Dawes, Raleigh etc).
The curved brake bridge is not exclusive to Gillott, here's a pic of a Freddy Grubb for example...
