Fury has erupted after the remains of Britain's wonkiest pub were 'left to rot' for two years after it was destroyed in a fire.

The Crooked House, in the village of Himley, Staffordshire, was gutted after a suspected arson attack in August 2023 - two years ago this week.

The rest of the 18th-century building was demolished without permission less than 48 hours later by owners ATE Farms, who had bought it just nine days before the blaze.

The historic boozer had become well-known across the country for its quirky tilted appearance, caused by the land sinking on one side due to local mining activity.

South Staffordshire district council last year ordered the firm to rebuild the 260-year-old protected tavern within three years.
