Jawihan-

Your frameset looks to be middle to upper level Carlton/Raleigh. The W prefix usually gives that away as being Worksop built along with the unique centrepull bridge that ony Raleigh and Carlton used. As well, the half chroming and lack of derailleur tab seem to narrow your purchase down to a Super Course or a Gran Sport. Check the fork. If you look down the steerer tube and see a ridge, the tubing is high tensile and the bike is a Super Course. If no seam, then check on the outside of the steerer tube for 531 id. If it's 531, then you have a Gran Sport. Good luck on the search!
