The Match Tax

I’d never heard of this, but whilst walking back to Bow Road station to come home, I saw this plaque.

Plaque Commemorating Opposition to the Match Tax

I’d never heard of the Match Tax.  But of course, the old Bryant and May factory is just round the corner.  It’s now up-market housing called Bow Quarter.

I can’t find much about the Match Tax on the Internet, except for this proof copy of the stamp that would have been used. It was never implimeted because of a public outcry.
