See inside the Black Country pub converted from two cottages into a traditional real ale haven
Pubs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with many converted churches, old theatres and even former courthouse premises.

They come in unusual designs, with quirky features - the Crooked House in Himley being a prime example.
It’s not often that a couple of terraced properties are converted into pubs, but when they are, they offer a unique look.
Although it is not entirely clear when the transformation into what later became the Rose & Crown in Brierley Hill took place, there is some evidence that it happened the mid-19th Century.

The front of the pub now features a single door where there would have been two entrances to the separate cottages.
It was later taken over by the Holdens Brewery, just up the road in Dudley.
