Help with information about this bicycle (The Hercules Cycle & Motor Co. Ltd)

Hello

We have a bike here that I could do with some help identifying. It's hard to read but I think the badge says "THE HERCULES CYCLE & MOTOR Co. Ltd. NOTTINGHAM ENGLAND". It has hub gears, looks to be 1960 or 1970s sort of era, and there's a sticker on it that I think reads "TI-RALEIGH LIMITED 20-30 HIGH TENSILE BALANCED Steel Tubing".

Despite the pictures I think the bike is in fairly good shape and wouldn't be difficult to restore. I just wonder is it something even worth restoring?

This is actually a Raleigh, badged Hercules from about 1960. It has the 26 TPI bottom bracket and head set. If these are in reasonable condition they are probably worth more than the whole bike to someone.
It would cost far more to restore than possible value.
