Sorry for slow response - I've been in France which means I'm off grid.
My guess is that it's a Holdsworth. It's not those 'tongues' I'm going on, but the shape of the cut outs on the down/top tubes - I'm only guessing though.
The frame is 24.5". I doubt that my friend will ever ride it again (age and ill health), so if anyone wants it, let me know.

@clubman the ‘tongues’ on the lugs are the giveaway. I’ve seen them before and it’s only one builder who did this, but I can’t for the life of me remember who it was. I’m sure I’ve not seen one that early with a head clip though. Pretty sure the others I’ve seen have been well in the 50s with conventional headsets.
Edit: very early Gillott? I want to say those are pre-Nervex lugs.
