Thomas Maxwell was born in 1852 at Haslingden, Lancashire, the son of Lawrence and Jane Maxwell. He is believed to have been the cousin of James Maxwell and trained as a land surveyor. In the 1880s he was in partnership with William Hopwood as Hopwood and Maxwell, architects and surveyors, Bank Chambers, Blackburn but this was dissolved. In July 1891 he entered into a short-lived partnership with Maxwell and Tuke of Manchester in respect of the Blackburn office only.
