Owners of Crooked House ordered to rebuild West Midlands pub destroyed by fire
Crooked House pub fire
The owners of the Crooked House pub have been ordered to rebuild the building “back to what it was” prior to the fire which destroyed it last year.
South Staffordshire Council announced that it had served an enforcement notice on the owners on Tuesday.
The owners have 30 days to appeal and the notice must be complied with within three years.
The historic West Midlands pub, in Himley, near Dudley, was demolished two days after it was gutted by a fire last August.
It was called the Crooked House because it leaned to one side as a result of land subsidence.
