The Crooked House in Himley, near Dudley, West Midlands, was reduced to rubble just 36 hours after a blaze swept through the 18th century boozer on August 5.

The historic pub in Maida Vale, west London, was initially destroyed by a German Zeppelin bomb in 1918 but rebuilt. During World War Two the boozer survived - in fact it was the only building left standing - after a Nazi bombing raid in Maida Vale. The pub has been bought by a new owner - Israeli property developer CTLX - and they lodged an application to convert the building into 10 flats. In January 2015 Westminster Council refused permission and two just days before Historic England was due to recommend the pub be granted Grade-II listed status, it was reduced to rubble. Patsy Lord, was the pub's landlady, and after hosting an Easter Quiz in April 2015 she said she was told the pub would be closed for an 'inventory'. Instead a wrecking ball arrived and after Patsy was alerted to the horrifying news that the pub was being demolished she rushed to the scene and could only watch on helplessly. She said at the time: 'It's heartbreaking. There was no warning." The act sparked fury and a campaign was launched to force CTLX into building the pub back.
