In archaic terminology, a footpad is a robber or thief specialising in pedestrian victims.

The term was used widely from the 16th century until the 19th century, but gradually fell out of common use.

Value of £70 from 1816 to 2025

£70 in 1816 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £8,720.29 today, an increase of £8,650.29 over 209 years.

The pound had an average inflation rate of 2.34% per year between 1816 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 12,357.56%.
