Ex-landlord toasts beloved Crooked House as calls grow for Britain's wonkiest pub to be rebuilt brick by brick
The 18th-century building, known as Britain's wonkiest pub, was damaged by a fire before swiftly being taken down by a digger.
"It means so much to us this place. This is where I met Laura. I proposed to her here," he said as he enjoyed a can of Banks's mild - which is produced just a few miles away.Tom raised a can to his beloved pub.The pub was iconic for its slant, thanks to subsidence, amusing punters who are appalled about the building's rapid demise.
Strong calls to rebuild the pub have been backed by West Midlands mayor Andy Street, who said it should be put back together brick by rick. It is registered with the same address as Himley Environmental Ltd, which operates a landfill next to the pub. They were left having to park a third of the way up the lane and roll out 40 lengths of hose to get to the fire.
