you'll find the history of this bike tied with the history of BSA, acquired by BSA in 1943, and separated from the motorcycle business in 1953
they were acquired by Raleigh in 1957 - may have been made in to the early 60s, but no specific information.
I would be trying to date this bike to between 1953-57, before Raleigh bought BSA/Sunbeam bicycles.
Though the Made in England script sure matches Raleigh script.
Must be one of the rarest headbadges out there.
yes, the prewar and TOC bikes are super cool, and have a really good museum webpage (apparently tied to the BSA bike museum) https://sunbeammuseum.wordpress.com/
