Wiki says created by Fred Hellens in 1923. But I guess you knew that... Nowt to do with Greece sadly.

I’ve ruled out Hetchins, Thanet, GT and Apollo! It doesn’t scream high quality but does have some age to it.

Had a quick look see, Pollard did them and a company called Buckley Brothers (this is a small wheeled child's frame).

No head clip headset so I think post war. Reynolds stem. Front wheel appears to be alloy, rear is steel. Rudge chainset. GB front brake. I would love this Good bag support and bag if not shagged.

Agreed.

That Pollard roadster/cross version is lovely. This one too far away for me, hope someone can rescue it.

Ray Clark of Weston-Super-Mare produced a number of "triple triangle" frames in the post WW2 era.
