They're actually pretty light (given that the wheels and tyres are mostly heavy) so probably better than 531, which as we all know is an obsolete medium grade tubing with no particularly outstanding properties other than the ability to make people who know nothing about frame building part with their cash.

they are mostly for 27" wheels, (although they all have 700c on now) which gives you a certain idea but they range from the 60s to the 80s. They are all reasonably well maintained, but yes, I would go over them. Some of the tyres are a bit old and one has a stuck seat post. Think winter beater or polo...or with some tweaks a reasonable track bike. The forks are drilled for brakes, but you'd need long drop.

Cotter pin cranks, bless.

I rode one of these on the track day before last. It was riding one of these that made me think "I definitely have to get my own track frame".
I'm not saying whether it was inspiration or the opposite :-)

for you, I wouldn't have suggested that as the first step.

sorry, I am trying to answer as many questions as I can!
yes I believe they do have NHS connections, the original badges that say "property of southwark council" would suggest a local authority heritage.

Yes, all the handlebars spin (but not whilst they are leaning up against the container)
