Sir Alfred Bower, 1st Baronet
Sir Alfred Louis Bower, 1st Baronet (8 October 1858 – 16 November 1948), was a British businessman.
Bower was the founder of Bower and Company, wine merchants. He was elected a Sheriff of London in 1912–13 and was knighted on 13 October 1913.[1]
His company was renamed El Vino so he could serve as an Alderman and then Lord Mayor of London between 1924 and 1925. He was created a baronet of Chislehurst in the County of Kent on 19 October 1925.[2]
He had one child, Mona Elizabeth Blackett Bower (1903–55), who married James Mitchell (1889-1981). They were the parents of Sir David Bower Mitchell.
Bower died in November 1948, aged 90, when the title became extinct.
