Historical Share Prices

poor_dog

Hello

I have to value 250 Alliance & Leicester Shares held on 6 October 2003.

Can anyone tell me where to find historical A&L share prices for that time?

Many Thanks

Have you tried Googling the information you have?

Sorry if that's a bit obvious and you've already explored that avenue; I managed to find prices for some overseas shares from some years ago via that method - a few pages in, but it worked!

Try here. Costs £6.

Thanks TIP, have Googled for it but the only info I found was that suggested by Non de Plume.

In the best Money Saving tradition I was hoping to get it for free !!

Plenty of free places that are acceptable to HMRC.

I used two
yahoo and dam I can't remember

I will look for a link..... back soon

OK Historic prices for no longer trading seems a bit harder.

here is an example for Barclays
(not a lot of help but an idea for others)

will keep trying.....

I did have a look at Yahoo Finance but I couldn't find Alliance & Leicester listed - maybe they are no longer listed having been taken over by Santander?

I have tried a few of the places I use but none still have the AL. data as it is no longer listed.

If I find anywhere that does have old data I will post.

Another free source but not so convenient is the library that keep the financial times.

edit

should have said where, HL, yahoo, selftrade, LSE, advfn

Thanks everybody, I've got one more iron in the fire, if that fails I'll use the LSE service

There is a section on Santander for Shareholders, maybe they could help?

Thanks, Santander said look on the internet or ask your financial adviser. Hmmmm

I work in a library and lots of people come in to look at old copies of The Times to get historic share prices. It's probably one of our most common enquiries.
