Hi @SideshowBob
I'm embarrassed to say it's not pre 50's and it's not a Gillott.
However I couldn't resist it, I have always hankered after a Reynolds 753 frame, It looks unused and it was fairly cheapish.
It should make my commute a bit easier.

When I bought the frame it was red, you can still see evidence of this where the badge was and around the lugs.
I unfortunately was not very careful removing the paint as
a. I'm not very patient
b. I hadn't noticed the bronze paint under the red paint.
Consequently I have rubbed the paint back to the metal on the top tube.
