Birds of Colindale was the retailer. You need to find out who the manufacturer was.

There is an Adrian Bird in Hendon, which is not far away. I found this on another site.------

Try asking Adrian Bird of Broadway Bikes 250 West Hendon Broadway Colindale, London, NW9 6AG - 020 8202 4671. He has had his LBS for years and might well be related.

Sorry for the delayed reply.
Here are some photos of my late Uncles bike. Please advise if this is worth selling?

That's a nice bike. Obviously hasn't been ridden for quite a while from the state of the tyres.
Advertise it on the vintage for sale site on the forum, there may be someone here who is interested.
On the open market as it is it probably isn't worth that much, but it is far too good to end up in a skip.

Its very much worth keeping if it's your size

What size is the frame measured from the centre of the Bottom bracket to the top of the seat post?
