New poster, so won't be able to post pictures until a few more posts are made.
@paul.cannon, I'm assuming the number you've given is on the seat post. If that's the case what's the number on the bottom bracket?

Hello. There doesn't appear to be a number on the bottom bracket. Thank you. Paul.
Is ther a number stamped on either of the rear dropouts?

Hello. No number(s) on either of the rear dropouts either. The only clue is a 3 speed sturmey archer hub, with numbers 56 4.
I appreciate that this may not be the original hub but I have gone over the bike thoroughly and can't find any other numbers.

What makes you think that's not the original hub ?

Nothing really. It was the hub on the bike when I bought it. I just thought that it's possible it's not the original hub.
Its a 3 speed changer so it looks like it's right.
Could the bike be the same age as the hub?
Regards Paul.
I wouldn't of thought there would be many bikes about with a 1954 hub. So it could be an original.
