Paradise Street, Oxford

a new window has appeared since this was taken

So it has! If I had a Georgian House, I'd want to get the bricked-up windows re-opened, but had assumed that with a listed building, planning permission to do that would be denied, partly because over the 200+ years since the windows were blocked up, the buildings would have settled to some extent and the brick infills become load-bearing. But it appears that (subject to structural survey, presumably) it is sometimes allowed. But it could be for structural reasons that here, only the top-most of the three windows has been restored.

Superb pair!
