Small Heath Harriers

I Have just found this interesting post, My dad was a member of Small Heath Harriers in the 1920's his name was Ernest R Harris so were 2 of his brothers William & Arthur Harris, he is on the photo shown above so is William, their father is the gentleman standing on the left of the photo he was on a number of the photo's supporting his son's i have got this photo plus a few more. Thought they may be of interest

Wow fame at last. I am in a photo at BHF (photo 2). I was probably 13/14 then and it was the only time I did cross country running. Instead of running over wet rough muddy countryside I found playing rugby on a wet rough muddy field preferable.
My father must have been disappointed. He was in the club by 1922. The club photo for that year is attached, he was 17. According to his membership card, the Club HQ was at the Small Arms Inn Muntz street isnt that where SH alliance had its ground ?). Its training quarters were the Bull Head, Coventry Road where I think the photo was taken.View attachment 130934
