Owners who demolished UK's wonkiest pub after fire ordered to rebuild it
Daily Express
|February 28, 2024
THE owners of Britain's "wonkiest pub" which was demolished after a suspected arson attack have been ordered to rebuild it at an estimated cost of up to £ 3 million.
The Crooked House was a much-loved landmark until it was destroyed by fire. The local council announced yesterday it had served an enforcement notice on the owners.
They now have 30 days to appeal and the notice must be complied with within three years.
If the rebuild is not completed within the time limit, the local authority can prosecute for failure to comply.
The historic Staffordshire pub was demolished without permission two days after it was gutted by a fire on August 5 last year.
