The first domain name ever registered symbolics.com is 28 years old today

The first domain name ever registered, symbolics.com is 28 years old today. So what were the first .co.uk domains registered or is that information forever lost as it was pre Nominet?

P.S. Although Symbolics.com was the first domain name ever registered, it was not the first ever created. Nordu.net, a name that was created by the registry on January 1, 1985, was the first domain name of all-time and used for the first root server (nic.nordu.net). Once domains were allowed to be registered, however, Symbolics.com was the first name taken. source: http://www.domainnamenews.com/up-to-the-minute/domain-registered-symbolicscom-sold-time/5867

With the whole dictionary to chose from, it also qualifies as the first duff registration too!
