I agree with Vello/Szia- sure some cheap 70's Witcomb's were made in Wales or America or whatever but in the last 10 years they have been handbuilt by Barrie on the forge in the back that came from an old bike shop on the old kent rd originally-pure south east london history.
When i talked to Tony his plan was always to keep the shop going for obvious reasons-that the the heritage aspect was so important- what i never understood is what Tony planned to do when Barrie retired-there was clearly no one to replace him and what he did -make and repair frames beautifully.
