The fishtail style lugs came about 1955 and Holdsworth bought Grubb in 1951/1952 restarting the serial count from 1.
This has a serial of 2062 (according to the guy I bought it from, albeit the BB says 2562, which I think is more correct). Now I have no idea of what speed they were selling these, but surely (I think) it falls between 55 and 60s (of course it can't be before 55, but I doubt it is much in the 60s, the fork is more from the 50s to me).
One thing I can't explain is the lack of badge and the non curved brake bridge.
