Taylor began working at the age of nine, and three years later began an apprenticeship as a blacksmith. This enabled him to find work above ground at Dipton Colliery, and he became active in the Durham Colliery Mechanics' Association, eventually becoming its secretary. He also served on the County Durham Mining Federated Board, and as president of the Durham Ages Mineworkers' Homes Association.[1]
