Mystery frame, 4 digit frame number under BB, the newish looking paint hides an old frame, built for 27" wheels and came with a 4 speed block, rear is 120mm spaced, nearly all band-on cable guides, very light considering it must be 50s/60s, I was thinking it could be an early Mercian but don't want to be foolish
Curved rear bridge, british threads but a Raccord Gargette BB shell with oil port hole. Distinguishing feature is the lugwork, I haven't seen anything like it before, Johnny Berry perhaps ?
It wasn't built in nottingham or ilkeston so I'm out of my depth, hoping some of the forum experts can help @HillyBen @midlife
