Owners of demolished Crooked House pub propose rebuilding it on new site

Appeal against council's order for Staffordshire inn to be rebuilt in situ is due to be heard in July

The owners of the former Crooked House pub, which was demolished after a suspected arson attack, have put forward a plan to rebuild it on a different site.

ATE Farms Ltd, the company that owned what was known as Britain's wonkiest inn", has said that rebuilding the pub in the same spot would not provide a sustainable community facility".
