Isaac Tounge's House (Blacksmith)

Issac Tounge's house (Blacksmith) corner of Bristol Road South & Church Road. Demolished late 1940's. Notice that one window is bricked-up, this would have been to avoid extra 'window tax' that was introduced in 1696 and was repealed in 1851, 156 years after first being introduced.
