The figure I quoted was per month Andrew! And a rip-off at that price i.m.o.

In the 60s, my flatmate and I paid £6 per month for a two-room flat in
Edinburgh's west end (would cost a fortune today!). No bathroom, and a
shared toilet on the landing, but we did have a kitchen sink (no hot
water, so we used a couple of kettles), a gas cooker, and a fireplace in
each room. One socket per room, and an overhead light in the
kitchen/living room/dining room.
