Description
Three hundred and twenty-seven paper negatives, dating to between 1855 and 1861(many are dated), and attributed to Henry Taylor (fl. 1851-1891), a chemist and photographer.
Henry Taylor lived and worked in Godalming, Surrey, in the 1850s and is recorded as living in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in 1871, and London in 1881 and 1891. He died in Reigate, Surrey.
The negatives are the earliest known photographic collection in the archive and cover a wide variety of sites and locations; although Sussex is particularly well represented.
Among the sites included in the collection are: Knole, Ightham Mote, Beaulieu Abbey, Fountains Abbey, Portchester Castle, Rievaulx Abbey, Salisbury Cathedral, Netley Abbey, Lincoln Cathedral, Pevensey Castle, Peterborough Cathedral, Stonehenge, Ely Cathedral, Penshurst Place, Bolton Priory Kenilworth Castle, Bodiam Castle and St Mary’s Abbey York.
A number of images are un-located, especially those which just show vegetation or geological features. Additionally, there are also some images of timber-framed houses and other dwellings which have remained unidentified.
