Elizabeth's grandfather, John Clifford Russell had established a shoe making business back in 1820.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Russell & Bromley (Southport) to close in September 2014 - otsnews.co.uk )〕 The family store in Eastbourne became the first to carry the Russell and Bromley name above the door in 1880.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=High Street Heroes: The Story of British Retail in 50 People By John Timpson )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Russell & Bromley (Southport) to close in September 2014 - otsnews.co.uk )〕
In 1898, Frederick, George and Elizabeth's son, joined the business and he opened a store in Tonbridge. He then founded a further store in Sevenoaks, which started an expansion programme which further stores being opened and smaller independent retailers being purchased. In 1905 Frederick moved it's operations from Eastbourne to Bromley in Kent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Russell & Bromley pays out £11.2m to family owners after sales boom - the guardian )〕 In 1936, Frederick retired and handed the business to his son's Keith & Michael, and by the start of the World War 2 had 20 branches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=High Street Heroes: The Story of British Retail in 50 People By John Timpson )〕
In 1947 the brothers opened their first store in Bond Street, which saw the change of business focus to high end retailer. In 1968 this was completed by the closure of a quarter of the branches to concentrate on the higher end of the market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=High Street Heroes: The Story of British Retail in 50 People By John Timpson )〕 The company has since progressed from selling just footwear and has now moved into ladies handbags as part of their range.
