An English maker who was absorbed by Raleigh. If it has the original hub, it should have the year of manufacture marked.

(Edit: Actually a manufacturing investment firm bought them both, and turned it over to Raleigh.)

cheers for your input - found a serial on the bike "EP 2637"
after some digging it looks almost identical to a 1926 :O

the rear hub marking are A.W. 56 4

i might add the wheels look newer than the rest of the bike, the level of rust on the frame is mad but the wheels seem not too bad, just painted black by some noob
