Former regulars ‘heartbroken’ at news the 18th-century Crooked House in Himley has been virtually destroyed
Police are investigating a “suspicious” blaze that destroyed “Britain’s wonkiest pub” just weeks after it was sold to developers.
The Crooked House pub in Himley in the Black Country became an unlikely tourist attraction thanks to its uneven walls, floors and surfaces.
For decades, customers flocked to the 18th-century hostelry, fascinated by the illusion that allowed them to roll a coin uphill along the bar.
In recent years it also became a popular wedding venue for people wanting to tie the knot at a location with a quirky backdrop.
