That bridge looks really cool and nice photos of the punts!
Actually I've never heard of a window tax. Were people once taxed on the number or size of their windows?
What was the governments moto: "We already keep them in the dark figuratively now lets keep them in the dark literally as well!"
I don’t know if the tax effected the university buildings but in the 18th century it was indeed a property tax levied in the number of windows or the size of a property. Many people bricked up some windows to dodge the tax! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax
That's interesting. I didn't know that.
