Biography of James Cholmeley Russell (1841-1912), the barrister, financier, property developer and railway entrepreneur. He was a key shareholder of the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways company from which the Welsh Highland Railway Company ultimately emerged.
Regularly updated and revised as more information comes to light.
At one time JCR owned The Duke of York public house, Boxalls Lane, Aldershot. This must have been in the 1900s as he was living at Longdene, Haslemere, at the time.
