Definitely early 1950s, between 1950 and 1954. Lugs are the early-type Nervex Pro which first appeared about 1950 in Britain. Bates of London (Horace Bates, not EG Bates) relocated to Westcliff on Sea in 1954 and the badge changed from Bates of London to, surprisingly enough, Bates of Westcliff in that year. The cycle parts appear to be original.
