Hi.  It is newer than that: it is a Whitefriars pattern 9312 that appeared in the late 1940s and continued through to at least 1960.

Thank you Alan

i just did a little further research and it turns out this may be for the Festival of Britan hence the red white and blue colours.

Thank you for your help
kind regards Steven
