Captain Henry Mitchell Junior, known as Harry Mitchell (1862-1894), was managing director of a brewery company co-founded by his father Henry Mitchell.[1][2] He was also superintendent of the fire brigade at the company's Cape Hill brewery,[1][3] and a Captain in the Smethwick Rifle Volunteers.[1]

He founded a brewery football team, Mitchells St George's, later Birmingham St George's F.C..[4]

Harry was born on 11 September 1862, in Smethwick (then part of Staffordshire), and died from typhoid at the age of just 32.[1]

Memorials

In 1897 Henry Mitchell purchased {{Convert|14|acre|ha}} of land, and in 1899 presented this to Smethwick Corporation to form what was named in his son's memory "Harry's Park" (now known as "Harry Mitchell Park").[1]

Henry also built and donated Smethwick Drill Hall and the accompanying Sergeant Instructor's house.[1] A plaque from the drill hall, now in the Harry Mitchell Leisure Centre which replaced it, reads:[1]
