The war memorial at the former Mitchells and Butlers brewery

Описание: The war memorial at the former Mitchells and Butlers brewery remains today on what is now a housing estate in Cape Hill.
The memorial was unveiled at the M&B site in 1922. The brewery was founded when Henry Mitchell and William Butler teamed up and later moved to the Cape Hill site in 1879 where it brewed beer until 2002. This became the main site and even had its own railway network. The most famous beer was Brew XI and carried the slogan, 'For the men of the Midlands'. The site is now houses but the company is still going and runs around 1,700 pubs, bars and restaurants today with their headquarters still based in Birmingham.
Listed are the names of the workers who went off to fight in two world wars and did not return.
