Morne,
Your rods have certainly seen better days!
The Hardy is a Palakona rod. Have never heard of a H.E. Accuracy Palakona?
Are you sure it reads Accuracy? It appears to have some additional script? Can you make that out? The tip section appears to be moisture damaged beyond repair. The inking doesn't appear to be original to the rod, but I guess it could be?
The Octopus is indeed a rod by Edgar Sealey and Sons. The ESS is a trademark for the self-same Sealey and Sons. This one appears to be a spinning rod? The Octopus rods by Sealey were a product of the 1960's, I believe? Really weird and funky stripping guide!
The Medway I have not a clue.
Wish I could be of more help.
Bob

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
