Tony Butterworths was a shop in Sheffield... back in the day I think some of the frames miiiight have been made by him - I will check with some friends when I am next back over the hills there.
I do know for sure that some he sold were definitely gas pipe flyers, but others were pretty decent Italian imported frames rebranded. A clue may be the threads on yours if you whip that BB out.
All in all not the most reputable of characters for his frames. But a very decent shop owner/manager back in the day...
