Historical Data UK – Bank of England /ONS
Writing about web page https://www.escoe.ac.uk/research/historical-data/
The UK Historical Data repository has been developed jointly by the Bank of England, the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE) and the Office for National Statistics. The site is both a repository of historical UK data and relevant statistical publications, as well as a hub that links to other data websites and sources. The focus is on macroeconomic and financial market data but the site includes a range of disaggregated economic data at a sector, industry and regional level. More granular, historical microdata on the UK economy and other social science data is provided by the UK Data Servicerepository.
The site contains digital collections of many of the key official statistical publications produced since the C19th which were digitised specifically for this project. These generally go up to around 2010 when the Office for National Statistics moved to online digital provision of its statistical releases although some publications carry on after that date.
Well worth exploring!
