The rear hub, if Sturmey-Archer, should have a date code.

It's before Raleigh bought Hercules so it's a pre-1960 Birmingham bike. Frame serial numbers are generally no help.
Got a pic of the Sturmey trigger if there is one? They can narrow down the date.
Also, on a whim, are there any codes on the back of crankarms? Williams can be dated.
