Depends on how old 'older' is. Raleigh started off as an English maker (based in Nottingham), was eventually turned into Raleigh America or Raleigh USA, had a plant which made the Techniums just down the road from me. Frames are probably now made in China or Japan...
If you are serious about picking up an older Raleigh (one of the English ones, or the older American ones) come visit us in the Classic & Vintage forum. There's a gentleman there who will answer just about any Raleigh question you may have
