Bicycle Frame I.D. - Classic Vintage Cycles

Hi - I wonder if someone could help with the age of a Pashley frame please. The number is 45263. I have attached a couple of photos. I have only been able to find one other Pashley with this type of seat tube transfer - maybe that gives some clue as to its age? Many thanks

I have recently found an Orbea lightweight road bike. It is in really good original condition but clearly been stored in a garage for many years.
