Under BB cable guides, top tube brake guides and allen key brakes put it at very late 70's and into the 80s'. Full sloping crown, non-portacatena and spaced fastback. It has a touch of Thompson / Orbit about it............
Aside from that it could be almost any builder.
Looks nice though
is it for sale?
Cheers

Any serial numbers on the bb? Could easily be a raleigh of some sort.

I agree Shaun, either an RRA or Gran Course frameset. Not mine but detailed pics to compare:

If you think it may be a raleigh try www.kurtkaminer.com/TH_raleigh_serials.html There is a lot of serial number info on there.

Re:
Thanks for the info and links guys, I'll make a note of the serial when I'm back down at the workshop and have a look!
I thought the seat stay/seat tube junction was quite distinctive so might have been a giveaway, either way it's a lovely frame whatever it is!

We have the same lugs including the seat clamp lug on the wifes Woodrup so these were used by a number of builders. Even the fork crown is the same. It really is down to the numbers. Any sign it has ever had a head badge I.E. filled in drill holes.It was the three drillings that set me on course when I found my poiner track frame was a raleigh pro.There are very very few head badges with that pattern of rivets. Interesting stuff.You can get a lot of fun out of tracing old bikes
