Nine celebrated Black Country pubs where the doors have reopened or plans are in place to bring them back
The pub landscape across the Black Country is one which evolves over time and which has seen a number of pubs reopen after a time closed or have plans in the pipeline to reopen.
Across the Black Country, there are pubs which have been closed for years due to lack of use, damage caused by fires or flooding, or which have been temporarily closed due to refurbishment works.
Some have since reopened looking new and shiny, while offering the same pub experience as before, while others have plans being put in place to help restore them to past glories and reopen at a later date.
We've taken a look and can list nine of the pubs which have reopened or are set to reopen after spells being closed.
This list is in no particular order. If there are any pubs that we have missed that you think should be included on this list, please let us know in the comments below.
1) The Two Greens, Tettenhall
The Two Greens will be reopening on June 9 with a brand-new look and feel following significant investment.
The investment includes a warmer interior including new flooring, lighting and booth seating and a refurbished garden area with new seating and covered pergola area.
The investment will also feature major improvements to the toilets, providing customers with a more modern look and feel.
2) The New Wellington, Amblecote
The New Wellington on Brettell Lane was formerly known for its carvery, buffet breakfasts and real ale but has been shut for a number of years after, in 2021, it suffered a fire in the kitchen which caused it to temporarily close.
It is now under new management who have posted on their Facebook page that the pub will re-open on July 11.
Before closure, The New Wellington was a popular real-ale pub.
3) The Mill, Upper Gornal
