explains "The salt tax, which was unknown in England until 1694, was enforced during the greater part of the eighteenth century. The tax was repealed in 1730, but was reimposed at the suggestion of Sir Robert Walpole in 1732." That page is all about Buckingham Street and refers to The Salt Office being, variously, at numbers 12, 14, 19, over the years 1706-88. This is after York House has been demolished and redeveloped into a number of streets including Buckingham Street.
