Walter Russell Hall (22 February 1831 – 13 October 1911) was an Australian businessman and philanthropist.

Biography

Hall was born in Kington, Herefordshire, England, eldest son of Walter Hall, glover (later a miller), and his wife Elizabeth Carleton, née Skarratt. He was educated in Kington and Taunton, Somerset.[1]

Hall arrived in Sydney on 14 February 1852[2] with his two brothers, Thomas Skarratt Hall and James Wesley Hall with little money. Hall was employed for a short time by David Jones Limited and then prospected for gold in Victoria with meagre success.[1] From 1857 he was a major investor and administrator of the Australian stagecoach line Cobb and Co.[2] He was also an original shareholder and director of Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company Limited, incorporated in 1886. Other directorships included the Mercantile Mutual Insurance Co. Ltd, and the Sydney Meat Preserving Co. Ltd.[1]

Legacy

Hall's widow, Eliza Hall, founded The Walter and Eliza Hall Trust that led to the establishment of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, using funds earned from Hall's business interests to establish the Trust.[3][4]

The locality of Walterhall beside the Mount Morgan mine was named after him.[5]
