Help in identifying this bike please

[DaisyBoo]

Can anyone identify the make/model/year of this bike please. I believe the photo was taken mid to late 50's.
Thanks for your help.

Could be completely wrong but looks a bit like a Zenith:

Thanks Shreeve, I'll have a close look at the 'wiki' info.

It would be worth looking at BSA too...the logo does look like it could be theirs and the styling looks similar.

Thanks, Andy_UK. Family did think maybe BSA 'Bantam' but.....

1939-1956 B.S.A c11

EDIT: The OP's bike has different rear suspension, like from the c12, but the rest of it look just like the c11. I'd be certain if I could see the side panels of the OP's bike.

OR rather

1957 B.S.A. c12

Thank you, RhynoCZ. I think that's the closest we've seen, definitely looks like the C12.

Thank you all for your help

It was first registered in Lancashire. Although due to the current DVLA 'improvements' nothing else appears searchable at the moment.

edit: was wrong
