The popular pub was reportedly sold to a private buyer a few days before it caught fire.
A Facebook post from The Crooked House said on 27 July that it had"been sold" and it was"unlikely to open its doors again".Advertisement
Conservative Mayor of the West Midlands, Andy Street, said:"Today all we can say is what a tragedy, and I sincerely hope this iconic Black Country landmark can be restored and preserved." Originally constructed as a farmhouse in 1765, the building was converted into a pub in 1830 but began subsiding due to mining activities in the area.
