Staffordshire Police made the announcement as it confirmed the investigation into the alleged arson attack a year ago was continuing.

"The six people that were arrested have been released from bail and are now released under investigation," a spokesperson said. "Our investigation is ongoing."

The 158-year-old building at Himley, near Dudley – dubbed Britain's wonkiest pub – was severely damaged in a fire on August 5 last year.

Two days later it was demolished, without planning permission.
