Police have Confirmed the Fire was Arson


Who did it?


https://news.sky.com/story/police-no...arson-12936122

[Police say they are investigating a fire
which gutted a historic pub as arson.

A blaze caused extensive damage at
The Crooked House near Dudley,
an 18th-century building, on Saturday evening,
two weeks after it was sold by
brewer Marston's to a private firm.
Up to 30 firefighters were needed to tackle the
blaze at the pub in Himley.

The pub became widely regarded as Britain's
"wonkiest" due to one side being significantly
lower than the other, caused by the effects
of nearby mining.

The remainder of the building was demolished
by a mechanical digger on Monday, despite
South Staffordshire Council saying it had
permitted only the top floor to be
demolished for safety reasons.]
