Is there anywhere in Stafford I can get imperial size bolts?

Can't think anywhere local but there's loads on eBay with fairly quick delivery.

That could be UNC or Whitworth - I would try Marcus in the shop on the corner of Weston Road / St Thomas Street - or the place on Gaol Road where the Handyman was, opposite ex-Phoenix Music, allegedly sells bearings, etc, but probably have a wider range of stuff.

There's a hardware store on Sydney Avenue - https://www.facebook.com/ctjhomeandleisure/

Depending on what you want, the most common usage for 1/4 BSW these days is the tripod mounting screw on the base of cameras. If it is only a temporary use, then you can usually remove the screw from a tripod, but it won't be very long.
1/4 UNC is the same pitch, but a slightly different thread angle - being coarse threads they both tend to be so loosely made that interchangeability is commonly available, although they aren't actually the same thread.

How do I edit this?
Thanks to you all. I'm pretty sure at least one of the places you've mentioned should have what I need!
It's actually for a camera mount I want it, but I'm not sure I want to dismantle my tripod just yet. Maybe if that wobbly leg gets any worse...

Enjoying a drop of red.
An excellent place who have saved our bacon on a number of occasions. Highly recommended.

It is not unknown for some places supplying threaded bar to have UNC, although it's less likely these days. I think I got some from B&Q around 2000, but it could have been Burgess's..
If you don't actually need a bolt, as such.

Try these guys.
i would be very surprised if you cant get what you needed from these people.
can be a little expensive , but everything is precision made and very good quality.

Getting confused with 'ancient' are we?

I have one of these that I can drop off, if that will keep you going?
Quite compact and robust.

That's a very kind offer. I'm sure I could make use of it, but I don't want to dampen your own photography efforts!

I will survive without it for a while - it is just in the car for emergencies that haven't really seemed to happen...
