Henry Robert Taylor was a British politician.
In the early 1890s, he was elected to sit on the London Trades Council, and then in 1892 he was appointed as an alderman on London County Council.
[1] While on the council, Taylor stopped working as a bricklayer, spending his time on the Health Public Control Works committee, and the Technical Education Board.
At the 1898 London County Council election, he was elected to serve as a councillor for Camberwell North, but became increasingly associated with the right-wing.
[1] In the late 1900s, he put his name to a list of measures proposed by the Municipal Reform Party, but he nonetheless remained part of the Progressive Party group on the council until he stood down in 1919.
