Ten more West Midlands pubs currently on market as The Crooked House is put up for sale

The news came after the tourist attraction on the Himley Road, between Dudley and Himley. The building, which has recently been given a makeover including a new roof, has been a focal point in the community since the 1830s, when it was The Glynne Arms.

One side of the building stands at 4ft lower than the other due to 19th century mining subsidence. It is now thought another pub company could swoop to buy it.

There are a host of pubs or former pubs currently listed for sale on Rightmove in the region.

Here are some of the others currently being marketed ...

Lamp Tavern - Dudley (£650,000)

The Lamp Tavern fronts the busy High Street A4101 on the edge of Dudley Town Centre.

Marketed by Matthew Phillips Surveyors, they say: "The property comprises a number of interlinked two and three storey brick buildings with pitched slate and tiled roofs with the original pub and former cottage, now converted to the letting block, to the High Street and Blowers Green frontage and the lofty former brewery forming the function facilities to the rear."

A brochure adds: "The Lamp Tavern in recent years has operated very successfully as a wet lead public house with a core of local trade from the surrounding area.

"There is an undoubted opportunity to further promote a value food offer both within the pub and adjoining function facilities, to attract additional trade for the letting rooms from business people."
