The Crooked House burned down in a suspecte
LOCALS have warned the house owners of Britain's wonkiest pub "it'll value them" after they have been ordered to rebuild it.

"While we are all delighted we've also acquired this feeling, 'Is it actually going to occur?' It is our heritage and tradition and it was demolished which is a criminal offense."
The Crooked Home had stood near Himley, in Staffs, since 1765 until it was razed to the ground on August 5.
Just 36 hours later, bulldozers reduced the still-smouldering shell to rubble.
South Staffordshire Council stated it had engaged with the Taylors because the demolition however had reached some extent the place a proper enforcement notice was thought-about mandatory.
