February 1958 is remembered for the death of seven ‘Busby Babes’ in the Manchester United Munich airline disaster. The Empire & Commonwealth Games were held in Cardiff; the first Hovercraft made its maiden flight; Lycra was invented; the first parking meters appeared on London streets…and beer was about 1s 6d (7½p) a pint.

Can.t really remember 1958 but I don't think prices altered all that muck from 1951 when I know we used to get a pint of bitter for 2shillings and twopence(2/2d) In todays money this would be 11p. Hope this might help. Have a good night.

Looking at the previous answers, some are just guessing. 45 years ago, when I first used pubs a pint of best was 2s 1d, about 10p in modern money. Cheaper outside London & cheaper still in 1958, 4 years before.

Not a definitive answer to your question,but I started drinking in 60 and I could get a pint of Wilsons mild for 1s 2d. That's up north west
