Original Note:
It is correct that the window tax was in force during the earlier part of Victoria reign. She came to the throne in 1837 but the tax was not removed until 1851. https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/towncountry/towns/tyne-and-wear-case-study/about-the-group/housing/window-tax/#:~:text=A%20motion%20to%20repeal%20of,tax%20was%20repealed%20in%201851. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria
