I'm totally confused so I need a little help please chaps. I'm trying to find a traditional esque set of mud guards for my winter/commuter road bike that are a little sturdier than the current crud racers. Standard drop brakes, fairly tight clearance and 23mm or 25mm tyres only. The forks/frame have eyelets.

Any suggestions?

I had success this past winter with SKS Longboards.

Thanks chaps. Can't seem to find the longboards any more.

I've found these which apparently can be fettled for 23s and standard drop brakes.

Those SKS ones are pretty good, had some for years - the rivets to the stays used to be alloy which will slowly corrode from winter salt but you can drill them out & replace very easily - if you try the CTC forum you`ll get real mudguard expert advice!
