25 years ago I was reminiscing as to what a bittersweet day it had been 12 months back.

If you're interested in 25 years ago, then you might want to look at the Domesday Reloaded website:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-532000-342000 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-532000-342000)

Back in 1986 - 900 years after the Domesday Book - the BBC published the Domesday project. This was an attempt to get information about the whole of the UK from local people and to put it all on new technology laser discs so that it would form a modern Domesday record. The technology didn't last long and it was very expensive so only a few hundred copies were made and they don't work any more and are incompatible with modern computers! But the BBC has revived the project and has just about put all the information from the laser disks up on the web. So if you want to find out about your area in 1986 then visit the site above.
