I'm waiting for Robbied196 to confirm but I'm pretty 90% sure this belonged to my Grandpa, and my Nan sold it when he died, the details fit just too perfectly for it not to be! If it is I will fall off my chair as I've been trying to trace these frames in recent years.
There were two which were sold one set up as a fixed gear the other as a road bike. FR "Nutty" Russell made them for him in his workshop, both identical and sized to him. My Grandpa was a lifelong memeber of Walsall Roads Cycling Club and even when he was too old to ride he used to stand in laybys on summer evenings timing the TT's ;-)
