[Jansy]

Please can anyone tell me how much 17 shillings and sixpence in 1956 is worth in today's money. Thank you.

That's really brought back memories Jansy. When I was a child we lived upstairs in a house in london, just 3 rooms, outside lavatory etc, and I remember the rent paid to the landlord downstairs was 17/6. This always sticks in my mind yet not later rents when we moved to council owned properties. This was in early 50s.
