Taylor, the blind shoe-maker

Taylor, a blind shoe-maker, who lost his sight in the late 18th century by reason of a blight. A ‘harmless’ man, who lives at No. 6 Saffron Hill, maintains a family through his work. He sometimes sets up his stand at Whitehall, or by the wall by Whitfield’s chapel, Tottenham Court Road. Like Priscilla, he is an industrious, meritorious worker, who never associates with the more common street beggar.
