About
Sculptor: Colin Melbourne. Reginald Mitchell was born near Stoke-on-Trent and was an aeronautical engineer and aircraft designer who was most famous for the legendary Spitfire fighter plane. Sadly he died in 1937 so did not live to see the success of the Spitfire in World War Two. The statue depicts Mitchell wearing a suit, pen in his right hand, book in his left. The low relief panel attached to the pedestal depicts two more images of Mitchell and above the two portrait images is a depiction of the Spitfire he designed. Inside The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery you can see an example of a Mark XV1 Spitfire.
Have your say on public art in the city...
Stoke-on-Trent City Council is creating a register of public art to help inform planning decisions, related to any future regeneration schemes – as well as seeking to understand how people currently engage with public art in Stoke-on-Trent.
The authority already has a 72-strong inventory of public art installations across the city – some of which you can view here on the Visit Stoke website – and it is looking to develop the list even further – with the help of the city’s residents/visitors.
If you are interested in taking part – please click on the following link to complete the survey:

The engagement exercise will run until Wednesday 31 January 2024.
