This was the normal type of bb in the dark ages
replace it with a sealed bb with the right length axle, although looking at pics of the frame the value of a new bb will be significantly more than the frame is worth
it is also possible that the threads in the frame are an old Raleigh standard, and getting the right bb might be a bit harder than going to a bike shop and buying one
