Historical Note At a public meeting on 14 Sept.1887, with reference to the formation of Smethwick Institute, it was resolved: "That the objects of the Institute shall be to provide for the people of Smethwick, at the least possible outlay, and in the most suitable form, the means of enjoying the best intellectual recreation and study obtainable, but that nothing be admitted to the programme of a controversial nature, sectarian or political". The Institute rented rooms in Crocketts Lane from Smethwick School Board. |
