Destruction
The Public was the jewel in the crown of the regeneration of West Bromwich. Opening four years ahead of the major retail complex that it was to be located in meant that it operated in a building site for several years.
The Leader of Sandwell Council announced that he was closing The Public just as the regeneration was coming to completion.
It was an awful, wasteful mistake.
In loving memory of The Public
