Can anyone identify / date this?

Hi

I recently picked up two really old frames. Dont know anything about them.

One (almost a basket case) has a bent fork, and rather rusty and pitted, however the other, looks like it will clean up real nice.

I have a good fork for it, and it also has horizontal rear dropouts. The one I will more than likely salvage is branded "wilson" and has "British made" stamped on the bottom of the BB shell.

Any ideas about the vintage? what size wheels it originally had? some 27 inch wheels I have fitted in the frame nicely, so my guess is either 27 or 28 inch.

Has en english threaded bottom bracket, however I cannot get the fixed cup out! Ideas?

Thinking about building it as either a fixed or single speed, as there really isnt enough there for a resto!
