Re: Value of Money
Hi Annie
The National archives do it http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/curr ... t0.asp#mid
i think it must be a very rough calculation because different things have changed a lot in price haven't they? I mean, tea used to be really really expensive but it isn't now.

Try this one, it gives different values depending on what you're interested in. Compared with today the cost of food and other goods was a higher proportion of peoples income than it is today.
