I'd certainly be interested to hear if they have 26 x 1 and 1/4"
The diameter of the seat pin is a fair guide to the quality of a steel frame.
Standard 531 butted tubing (which would probably be the basis of every Thanet) will take a 27.2 mm. pin. There are some good frames which take 27.0 or even 26.8, but smaller than this and you're not looking at a high quality vintage machine.
Incidentally I believe the red star of the Thanet head badge reflected Les Cassell's interest in socialism.
