Description
This is a 1933 photograph of Annie Kenney, her husband James 'Jim' Taylor (1874-1977), and her sister Nell Kenney outside Annie and Jim's family home in Letchworth. Annie and Jim married in 1920 after Annie stepped away from politics and moved to Letchworth in 1923. They remained together until her death in 1953.
James Taylor was born in St Pancras, the son of a solicitor's clerk. Between 1907 and 1914 he worked for various employers chiefly as a metalworker or pipe-fitter. In 1914 he enlisted in the King's Royal Rifles and in 1916 was dispatched to the Royal Navy Torpedo Factory, Greenock, where he met Annie and worked until end of the war. He made a career of teaching handicraft and rose to become a Manager of the Government's Training Centre in Letchworth. He retired in 1958 and embarked on a tour around Europe by moped.
