By reference to take home wage packets we can see how things have changed:
7 pounds then is like receiving 112 pounds and 91 pence now
10 pounds then is like receiving 161 pounds and 30 pence now
16 pounds then is like receiving 258 pounds and 08 pence now
If you were left a thousands pounds in a will by your Aunty Ada in 1959
It is like being left 16,130 pounds now.

Lovely site, loved the pictures - Uncle Dan and James in the school photos! Must come back and visit soon - lovely memories of long walks with Grandad and 'plodging' in the beck, barley sugar twists from the sweet shop, the black macaws (that talked I think) in the fruit & veg shop. Sad about the cinema.
