Stamp Duty, 1820
-
Today 'Stamp Duty' is something one pays on a house purchase but originally
it was a general tax on legal documents introduced in 1671. Embossed
stamps ...
I'll not be buying these stamps, but it is really weird that they are only available in a suburb of Carlisle, rather than in the centre. They will not be in easy reach of most people, but I expect no one will know much about them.
