Bridge House Aldershot
A recent find on the web concerning Russell's property activities is a site describing the history of a private house - Bridge House Aldershot where Frederick Eggar sold the land to Russell in 1877 ;he subsequently then sold it to Susan Sumpster in 1905. This is close to Manor Farm. Russell's will refers to his property development interests, the Aldershot Lodge Estate and other property in the area, including the Manor Estates.
