Taylor, Wordsworth and Co

Taylor Wordsworth and Co was one of the leading producers of machinery for the flax, wool and worsted industries in Leeds, Yorkshire during the British Industrial Revolution. It was established in 1812 and survived until it was taken over in the 1930s.
==Early Years==

The company was established in 1812, by Joseph Taylor, Joshua Wordsworth and Nathaniel Marshall. They had previously been employed by the brothers, Joseph and William Drabble, as workmen〔(Holbeck Urban Village website – History )〕 at a machine-making factory, Midland Mills, in Water Lane, Leeds. Midland Mills had originally been built for John Jubb,〔Holbeck Urban Village website, as above〕 probably the same as the John Jubb who had married a Sarah Drabble in Doncaster in 1774.〔Dr Gillian Cookson, ‘Early Textile Engineers in Leeds 1780-1850’, Publications of the Thoresby Society, Volume 4, 1994, page 51〕 On 7 November 1812 a notice in the local paper, the ''Leeds Mercury'',〔National Newspaper Library, Colindale Avenue, London NW9 5HE; and also online (British Newspapers 1800-1900 )〕 announced that ‘Messrs Taylor, Wordsworth and Marshall, Flax Tow and Worsted Machine-Makers (late Workmen to Mr William Drabble) … have engaged a Commodious Place in Holbeck, where they intend carrying on the above business in all its branches’.〔''Leeds Mercury'', 7 November 1812〕 On 19 December 1812 the ''Mercury'' reported that William Drabble had been declared bankrupt, and advertised all his factory machinery and household furniture for sale by auction.〔''Leeds Mercury'', 19 December 1812〕 In May 1813 his premises in Water Lane - a factory three stories high, a warehouse and a building used as a saw pit - were up for sale.〔''Leeds Mercury'', 15 May 1813〕 In June 1814, ‘Messrs Taylor, Wordsworth and Marshall’ placed an announcement in the ''Mercury'', announcing that they were moving into the Drabbles’ former premises and advertising for workers.〔''Leeds Mercury'', 11 June 1814〕
Taylor and Wordsworth both married Drabble girls – Wordsworth had married a Martha Drabble in Tankersley, near Barnsley, in 1803〔Parish Register, Tankersley〕 while Taylor had married a Hannah Drabble in Leeds in 1805;〔Parish Register, Leeds St Peter〕〔Dr Gillian Cookson, op. cit., p. 54〕 then, following the death of the first Martha in 1810,〔Publications of the Thoresby Society Vol 33: Monuments in St John's Churchyard, Leeds. Leeds Reference Library〕 Wordsworth had married another Martha Drabble in Leeds in 1811.〔〔
The early 1800s were an important time for the company. The industrialisation of the cotton industry had begun in the eighteenth century, but in the cloth industry it was only just getting under way. Most cloth was still produced in the workers' own homes. Most machinery was still made of wood, and was hand-operated and clumsy.〔Phyllis Deane, ‘The First Industrial Revolution’, Cambridge University Press, 1979〕 While Taylor’s marriage entry from 1805 gave his occupation as ‘Mechanic’, Wordsworth’s, from 1811, showed him as ‘Carpenter’. It was the advent of steam power that would transform the prospects of machine makers such as Taylor and Wordsworth.
