Since I’m getting all old and remember days and prices from long ago, when big hair and awesome music was all the rage, and you had to have a licence to keep a dog, Imma constantly searching for roughly equivalent prices over the years.

This then is lifted squarely (and fairly) from https://inflation.iamkate.com/, for which, 🙏 thanks!

Historical prices can be converted into equivalent present-day prices by using historical inflation rates.

Inflation rate history

• Data for 1949 onwards comes from the Office for National Statistics document https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/timeseries/czbh/mm23"

• Data for 1751 to 1948 comes from the 2004 paper Consumer Price Inflation Since 1750 (ISSN: 0013-0400) Economic Trends No. 604, pp 38-46) by Jim O’Donoghue, Louise Goulding, and Grahame Allen.
