"Haddon of England" cycles. Anyone heard of them?

So I'm doing up an old bike that was found in a barn, and was wondering if anyone has heard of the manufacturers - Haddon. Stepdad thinks they were associated with Raleigh, and would fit with the bits on there (Cottered cranks. What a bloody pain)

The main reason I ask (This is going to sound crass) is that the only result I turned up while googling was an ebay auction for a Haddon head badge, which went for about 10 quid in the end. So, before I get started hacking the old thing about to be my winter beater, I figured it might be a good idea to inquire as to the pedigree; after all I don't really want to go ruining a nice and possibly valuable old machine with my heavy-handed ways!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
