James Taylor saw the promise of the young town of Morpeth. He constructed the Taylor’s Bond Store, which comprised of three buildings: the store, a residence, and commercial bank with stone steps leading up from the adjoining wharf. Caleb Soul later took over the business and became notable for selling the most potent rum in the colony and starting a nationwide pharmaceutical brand, Soul Pattinson & Co.
