Columbus SL tubing are very good (double butted), they're pretty common on decent to high end road bike (generally italian), the fact that it doesn't have any mudguard eyelit indicate that it was a decent/high end road frame, Colnago for example tend not to have any mudguard eyelit on their frame apart from the usual 'fake' of course.
It's a bit odd to hear a frame like this to be made in England since they usually tend to go for Reynolds as it's 'local', especially when the SL tubing were the italian version of the well known Reynolds 531.
Here's what I think, it's probably an italian road frame that has been converted in Blackburn to be used for a certain purpose.
Remember, all this is base on my assumption of what I think the frame is, so don't hold my word for it.
