People said their goodbyes to the historic Crooked House pub in Dudley after it was burned down and demolished
Tom, who drank a can of Banks’s mild amid the rubble as a final farewell to the building, said: ‘It means so much to us this place. This is where I met Laura. I proposed to her here.Laura said the ‘crazy’ subsidence-hit pub was ‘wonkier upstairs than downstairs’, with Tom adding: ‘A lot of people thought they were drunk when they walked in because everything was all over the place.
He said of the last few days: ‘It was just a shock on Saturday to find out it was on fire – absolutely devastating. I could get emotional, it’s terrible.‘My parents used to have a pub in Dudley in the late 60s and early 70s, and they used to bring us here 50 years ago. To see what it’s like today is gut-wrenching, it really is.’
Paul Turner, whose online Save The Crooked House petition has attracted more than 12,000 signatures, said the pub was a tourist attraction and particularly popular with those who visited it for the first time.
