Yes, it really is that shade of green. Image kindy taken for the blog this morning by local resident James Foz Forsyth – thanks, James!
Just a quick note to point out that after a long and apparently very thorough refurbishment, the Shire Oak pub at the Shire Oak crossroads in Brownhills opens tomorrow, Friday 20th November 2015.
There’s a website for the pub here, and a Facebook page here with lots of pictures and information. It looks like it’s going to be a great house and a real asset to the community.
So nice to see a pub saved after so many locally have been lost.
I wish the new landlords, staff and customers all the best, and I might even pop in myself when I get five minutes. My best wishes to all.
If you take a wander up there, let me know what you think: comment here or mail me – BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.

My local pub, can’t wait to try it out.
Hi Bob
the top Oak does look smart. Best of luck to the landlord and staff.
cheers

I wandered up. Mixed feelings. It’s smart, clean, and needed the refurb, but it’s lost a bit of the feel of a proper pub- but it was packed, so they must be doing something right. Full thoughts here.
