Track frame?
I have been doing a bit of research on the net and it seems as though the frame might be a 1940's BSA Double Diamond. A lot of the lugs and fittings look like the ones pictured. I found a picture of how the BSA Winged Wheel was fitted and in the diagram it shows a set of rear dropouts similar to mine. I have also studied the picture of one with a sidecar fitted closely and it shows the same rear facing dropouts.

Wouldn't have been many made in the 40's.

I have gained about four square yards of garden. ^_^

There was a very old tree that an arbar orbor tree surgeon worked on for over three or four years, but it succumbed to honey fungus and there was a danger that large branches would fall on someone's head. The stump, approximately thirty inches in diameter has finally rotted, and the ground is now diggable.

There was also three million* Shasta Daisies in one part of the garden that have gradually been removed, just keeping some small clumps well under control. A prickly, huge, prickly, wide, tall and did I mention prickly Berberis is gradually being pruned considerably in size. The other Berberis in the garden is much more friendly, in that it grows slowly and remains compact.

Are you with me so far? The end result is that I have some spare/empty ground n the garden. I was thinking about growing vegetables in those spaces.
Does the panel know of any easy to grow plants? For instance I thought of trying "early" broad beans, or am I too late to start them?

* A slight exaggeration possibly.

You might start the year with cabbages or lettuce, as they bolt in hot weather. Carrots and radishes do well in cool weather, as do parsnips, but I do feel parsnips are rather a fall crop, you may want them to get a freeze on them before you pick them. Later plants include the ubiquitous tomato, courgette, and other squash. Peppers, while a bit more of a challenge, are also good to try. I'm in the States, though, and I cannot grow anything until March or April.
