Can anyone tell me whether the frame will accommodate 26" wheels and if so, what type and what modification to brakes etc.
Thanks in advance.

Why not get ISO571 (650c) wheels and tires?
Terry TellusTire 650x28 w /Puncture Protection Black is widest 571 tire that I am aware of available in the USA. It is made by Panracer. There many 23-571 and 24-571 tires available. And rims:
Rims, Wheels & Parts - Rims - 650c - Niagara Cycle
Please note that "26 inch" has been used to refer to the following bead seat diameters (BSD) : 559, 571, 584, 590 and 597. Tires and rims are easy to find in all five of those sizes. 584 is also called 650b and 27½"
