Two Crooked House landlords speak of their devastation at the loss of Britain's wonkiest pub.

The building gradually began to sink in the early 19th Century due to mining in the area

The landlord has been in the pub trade for more than 25 years, but said he was now thinking of leaving the business and added: "This has just really taken its toll." The former farmhouse was a popular attraction in the West Midlands for decades after Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries bought it and converted it into a pub in the 1940s.
