James Pride (c1814 - 1 June 1877) was a shipowner, businessman and local Conservative politician who became Mayor of Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales in 1864. He was also an alderman, a member of the Board of Guardians of the Cardiff Union, and a director of the Cardiff Gas Company.
==Early Life==
Born in Hurst near Lydney, Gloucestershire the son of a local landholder named Thomas Pride. At an early age the family relocated to Llanvihangel Rogiet in Monmouthshire, Wales where he was baptized.
==Business Interests==
He later relocated to Cardiff and worked with his cousin Matthew Pride in a shipping business that took freight between Cardiff and Bristol under the company name of J & M Pride Shipping. At the death of his cousin Matthew in 1843 he inherited the business and re-named it Pride & Co. The company ran up to four ships on regular schedules between Cardiff and Bristol and was still active in the 1850s.
Other business interests included being an original shareholder, as well as a promotor and director of the Cardiff Gas Company. He was also the governor of the Cardiff Savings Bank from 1855 until his death in 1877.
==Political and Public Service Career==
In 1846 Pride was elected, without contest, to the Cardiff Municipal Council. He was one of three councilmen representing the South Ward of Cardiff. He represented the South Ward until he was defeated in the 1852 municipal election when he was defeated by John Owen, primarily on the issue what type of sewers (either pipe or brick) would the council chose to build in Cardiff.
He was re-elected as Councilman in 1855, this time representing the North Ward of Cardiff where he replaced Alderman Charles Vachell. In 1859 he was raised aldermanic rank and was subsequently re-elected on 1861 as Alderman for the North Ward. He was also on the Cardiff magisterial bench and tried many cases as a justice of the peace.
In 1864 he was elected as Mayor of Cardiff and was mayor until November 1865. He was further elected Deputy Mayor in 1865 and 1867.
He was also on the Board of Guardians for the Cardiff Union, a body of the Cardiff Poor Law Union that was established in 1836. He was a member from the early 1850s until his death in 1877.
==Personal==
In 1850 he married Hannah Thomas. They had one daughter, Sarah Jane.
He was the brother-in-law of Henry Jones, the inventor of self-rising flour, who was married to his older sister Ann. Henry was a witness at the wedding of James and his wife Hannah.
Posthumously sources attributed James Pride as being a descendant of Col. Thomas Pride, an officer in the army of Oliver Cromwell and also directly connected with the death of King Charles I of England.
==Death==
After a long illness lasting several months, James Pride died at his residence at 14 Charles Street in Cardiff on the afternoon of June 1, 1877. He had made a journey to London looking for a cure to his illness, but his diagnosis was the "reverse of favorable". He was buried June 6, 1877

James Townley (politician)

James Townley Current chairman and spokesperson for Reform UK in Westmorland and Lonsdale. James was the candidate for the Reform UK party in the Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency for the 2024 UK general election. His concerns for the community include addressing the slow response to local needs, a sentiment that is echoed by the party's focus on common sense policies regarding immigration, the cost of living, energy, and national sovereignty.
Townley's educational background includes a specialisation in Landscape Design & Construction from Myerscough College, which provides a foundation for a successful groundworks and Landscaping company. His professional endeavors extended into aviation, where he learned to fly helicopters at Blackpool Airport and subsequently established a charter business.
Now, as a Reform UK candidate, Townley aims to use his varied experiences to represent and advocate for the needs and interests of the Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency. His connection to the area is not only professional but also personal, with deep family roots in Cumbria that date back generations, as evidenced by the historical presence of the Towneley or Townley family.
The Townley family has a significant presence in the history of the Lancashire region, particularly connected to Towneley Hall in Burnley. The Towneley or Townley family has roots that trace back to Anglo-Saxon England, and Towneley Hall has been the ancestral home of the family for centuries (Wikipedia). The family's association with the estate at Town Head, near Newby Bridge, connected to Charles Townley, the fine-art dealer who sold the estate in 2021, who states that the Town Head estate was purchased as a hunting lodge in 1804 (Country Life).
Town Head estate remained in the Townley family until recently. The land was reportedly bought as a hunting lodge by William Townley, a high sheriff of Lancashire, in the 1890s, and the family has been associated with this estate for a significant period, marking an era of over 200 years (The Telegraph).
Connections to Burnley Towneley Hall, the family's history is intertwined with the hall, which was the home of the Towneley family for over 600 years. Charles Towneley, Richard Towneley, and Francis Towneley are noted as notable family members who have had a significant impact on the hall's legacy (Historic Houses). Towneley Hall now serves as a historic house, art gallery, and museum, located in 400 acres of beautiful parkland, and provides insight into the history of Burnley and the Towneley family's contributions (Towneley Hall).
Townley has expressed concerns about the community's slow response to local needs and has decided to stand as the Reform Party's candidate for Westmorland and Lonsdale (CW Gazette).
