Sign For The Crooked House Pub

Sign for The Crooked House pub in Himley where a fire broke out on the weekend amidst unexplained circumstances, and which was unexpectedly demolished less than two days later, angering local people on 11th August 2023 near Dudley, United Kingdom. Police are investigating the circumstances of the fire as arson, and are trying to establish if the demolition was lawful. The Crooked House’s distinctive appearance was the result mining subsidence which caused one side of the building to be approximately 1.2m lower than the other. It was known as ‘Britains wonkiest pub’, and optical illusions inside the building made objects appear to roll uphill.
