History
Henry Brown Marshall was one of the Rand Pioneers, having arrived on the Rand in June 1886. He owned various pieces of land, later known as Marshall town and Melrose.
He was one of the founders of the Rand Club and also started a brewery, which would become part of South African Breweries.
Marshall sympathized with the aims of the Jameson Raid (1895-1896) and eventually joined the Reform Committee. After its failure he left South Africa and settled in Scotland.
