co-founder and first secretary of the Halifax Permanent Benefit Building Society
In December 1852 a small group of men gathered in the Old Cock Inn, Halifax. Their mission was to set up an investment and loan society, for the mutual benefit of local working people. Those with spare cash could invest it; others could then borrow, using the funds to buy or build a house. Lenders would get interest on their savings, borrowers would pay it.
By Christmas that year the Halifax Permanent Benefit Building Society was formally established. Rules were drawn up, and a Chairman, Trustees and Directors appointed. Office space was rented in the Old Market, and an advertisement placed in the Halifax Guardian.
Amongst the founding fathers were John Fisher, a local bank manager; Jonas Dearnley Taylor, a solicitor's clerk; and Esau Hanson, a textile manufacturer. All three played a pivotal role in our early history. Fisher was elected first President and Taylor named Secretary, serving in that capacity for nearly 50 years. Then, on 26th May 1853, Hanson became the first person ever granted a mortgage by the Halifax. He borrowed £121 to buy land on St. John's Lane, a site which, ironically enough, now forms part of the Halifax's Head Office!
He and his wife lived in Springfield, Halifax, Yorkshire

Victorian and Edwardian Britain p. 134
The distinction between practitioners and employees was, in this period, as it still is today, sometimes blurred. Some accountants, though remaining in practice, clearly devoted much of their time to a single client. For example, Jonas Dearnley Taylor was in practice as J.D. Taylor & Co., Halifax, when, as secretary, he took the minutes of the first meeting of the Halifax Building Society in 1852 (Hobson, 1953: 16). At the annual meeting of the Society, held fifty years later, the president described Taylor as 'really the founder of the Society' (Hobson, 1953: 53). He was its chief executive between 1853 and 1902, and 'it was chiefly owing to his organising ability, his persevering efforts, his power of concentration and his strict integrity that it now stood in a higher position than ever before' (Hobson, 1953: 53). A director of the Halifax described Taylor 'as having a genius for organisation. In particular he had a talent for book-keeping and patented several labour-saving devices in that connection' (Hobson 1953; 56). But Taylor remained in practice, 'which in the early days of the Society must have provided him with the greater part of his means of subsistence' (Hobson, 1953: 56). Unsurprisingly, his work at the Halifax meant that he took little part in his accountancy firm's activities in later years, leaving this to his son.
