Thanks for the replies! Pasipanopane, I've pm'd you.
People on here have already given me useful info about the frame:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread64230.html
There's a picture of the headset in that thread. Osgears seem very very rare and expensive (but so excellent!), so I won't be attempting a complete restoration, just a respray and new lease of life for it.
Also when dismantling it I found it has has a Baylis Wiley axle, the thread shell slides in and out of the bottom bracket. I think the original brakes must have had a massive drop, the front OLN is 90mm and the rear 105mm ...... just thought I was buying a cheap frame off ebay with a nice headbadge but then find myself sucked into a different world!
