As a enthusiast of English bicycles, I would like to say you have scored a nice one there. You might get close to the year by getting approximate dates on the Cyclo gear changer. I would guess mid-thirties.
 
I did a little more digging and found the the British Cyclo derailleurs should be date stamped on the top outside of the jockey arm. http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/standardcyclo.html

Wow, I'm envious of your bike. I don't recall seeing very many, if any, Cyclo gear changers on roadsters. Usually they were placed on clubman or sports bikes. What are your plans with it? I'd really like to see it back in road ready condition.
 
Thanks for taking the time to research the derailleur. I will look for the date later today. For now this bike is going to stay in as found condition. I have other bikes that I want to go through first.
