Britain’s wonkiest pub has been sold by Marston’s brewery, but the new owner will be calling time.
A private buyer has bought The Crooked House, in Himley, near Wolverhampton, which had been put on the market with a guide price of £675,000.
The landlords said the pub, originally built in 1765, was unlikely to open again after 192 years of trading, as the buyer planned “alternative use”.
A distinctive lean, caused by subsidence but made safe in the 1940s, means that one side of the pub is four feet lower than the other and coins rolled along the bar appear to move uphill.
