Summary[edit]

Description

This is The Public in West Bromwich.

Since I heard about it, I always wanted to come here. One of the reasons to go to West Bromwich. It is free to enter.

The Public is a community arts organisation based in West Bromwich, West Midlands, England, and also a large modern building constructed in West Bromwich and intended to accommodate the group.

This is the side from near West Bromwich Ringway.

A sign of the organisations that The Public is home to.

The church is the Church of St Michael And The Holy Angels on St Michael Street. Grade II listed.

Roman Catholic Church. 1875 - 7 by Dunn and Hansom, with tower and spire added 1911 by Edmund Kirby. Red brick with some stone dressings and tile roof. The chancel is at the south-west end, but for purposes of description the orientation is assumed to be conventional. Comprises a north-west tower, a nave with clerestory and continuous chancel, north and south aisles, and north and south chapels. The west wall has triple stepped lancets with stone heads and sills, and a moulded pointed doorway with angle shafts. The tower has clasping buttresses to the lower stage, angle buttresses above, and corner pinnacles. The spire is of stone. The bell openings are each of two trefoiled lights with a quatrefoil under a pointed head. The north doorway is moulded and pointed. The aisles are of five bays, with alternate paired lancets and round windows. The clerestory has single lancets. The transeptal chapels each have two lancets with a round window above. At the east end is a rose window. Interior: three-bay nave arcades with pointed moulded brick arches springing from painted round columns with moulded capitals. The roof has scissor-braced rafters. West organ gallery. The chancel is divided from the nave by an arch-braced truss carried on slim engaged shafts. The chancel roof is boarded. East window contains glass of late C19 date. (VCH, p 61).
