An appeal from owners ATE Farms against an enforcement notice issued by South Staffordshire Council calling on them to re-build the famous pub in Himley within three years is due to be heard in the spring.

They want to re-build the pub on other land that they own, an idea campaigners from Save the Crooked House (Let's get it rebuilt) are against.

But at the moment, members of the group which numbers nearly 40,000  are concerned about the state of the road leading to the ruins of the pub, which was destroyed by fire and then demolished days later in August  2023, and the adjacent landfill site which they say is not being managed properly.

Exclusive pictures taken by the Express & Star show both areas to be over run by fly tipping, and piles of rubble.
