John Marshall Taylor was a man of many talents and interests, from spinning flax to studying Egyptian architecture. His legacy lives on through his contributions to the textile industry and his passion for the ancient world.
Ever heard of a mill owner who also had a fascination with Egyptian architecture? Meet John Marshall Taylor, a man whose life was as diverse as his interests. This episode of HUN Podcasts takes you on a journey through Taylor's multifaceted world, from his early days in the textile industry to his deep dive into the mysteries of Egyptology.
You'll get to know about his partnership with Samuel Fenton and Ralph Dearlove, leasing a water-powered mill in Addle near Leeds, and how he revolutionized the textile industry in Holbeck by opening an evening school for young factory workers. But that's just the beginning. Taylor's passion for Egyptian architecture is a story in itself. Imagine a mill with an Egyptian facade designed by architect Joseph Bonomy!
Taylor didn't stop there; he was actively involved in the Leeds Literary and Philosophical Society, contributing to the study of Egyptology. The episode wraps up with some heartwarming childhood memories of Guy Fawkes Day, adding a personal touch to this rich narrative. If you're curious about how one man could balance business, education, and a love for ancient cultures, this episode is a must-listen.
