If I've done my sums right, in 2018 money that receiver would cost around £50000! (based on David's comment that 147 guineas (£154.35) was about a quarter of the price of a house in 1946) It should have been very well built for that kind of money!!
Even based on wage inflation in 70 years, that £154.35 works out at around £15,000 in 2018 money!
