EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the turn of the twentieth century, specifically to the Mitchells and Butlers Cape Hill Brewery in Smethwick, West Midlands. The image, taken in 1909, showcases the Bowling Green, a beloved recreational facility located within the brewery grounds. The Bowling Green was just one of the many sporting and leisure facilities provided by the brewery for its dedicated workers. The green, lush and well-manicured, is the focal point of the photograph, with several men in work clothes and bowler hats engaged in a friendly game of bowls. The serene setting, surrounded by trees and a picturesque pond, offers a stark contrast to the industrial backdrop of the brewery in the background. The presence of these facilities not only reflected the forward-thinking approach of the Mitchells and Butlers management but also played a crucial role in fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and team spirit among the workforce. The Bowling Green provided an opportunity for employees to unwind, socialize, and engage in friendly competition outside of their work duties. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the men and women who contributed to the success of the Mitchells and Butlers Brewery during the industrial era. It serves as a reminder of the importance of work-life balance, even in the most unexpected of places – a brewery in Smethwick, West Midlands.
