A Paul Hewitt touring/audax bike, at cash Generators in Rochdale. Doesn’t look to have rack mounts on the front fork so possibly a ‘Chiltern’ rather than the ‘Cheviot’ model, Reynolds 631 frame, no other info but a bargain at £120.

Carlton Worksop closed 1981-2, Raleigh nicked the W frame number for Nottingham built bikes, they argued that production just moved not ceased ….

Yep my 531 Raleigh Road Ace is the same year, it seems what they did was set up an area within the factory and have what was left of the Worksop staff build to the same standard. The best builders had already been 'poached' to the SBDU but all the staff were highly experienced.
