I'm glad the site that I recommended was useful! I'm reposting the
link as the official answer to your question.

Economic History Services: How Much Is That Worth Today?

Usually a Researcher will use search engines such as Google to locate
information, but in this case that wasn't necessary; I was aware of
the Economic History Services website, and had bookmarked it several
months ago after researching another question that involved economics
and inflation.

You might also be interested in these pages from the same site, each
of which includes UK-related material:
