Adjusted for inflation, one pound in 1900 would be equivalent to roughly £100 or more in today's currency, depending on the specific calculations and the inflation index used. The value reflects the cost of goods and services at that time, which were much lower compared to modern prices. This means that everyday items, such as food and clothing, were much cheaper in 1900 than they are now.
