The Crooked House, Historical pub in Himley, England.
The Crooked House building stood at a 15-degree angle, with one side positioned 4 feet lower than the opposite wall due to mining subsidence.
Originally constructed in 1765 as a corn mill named Coppice Mill, the structure transformed into the Glynne Arms pub around 1830 during local mining activities.
Local residents referred to the establishment as 'Siden House,' employing Black Country dialect where 'siden' translates to crooked in standard English.
The building required steel tie rods and reinforced buttresses in 1957 to maintain structural stability after being condemned as unsafe in the 1940s.
Visitors observed marbles and liquids appearing to roll upward along the slanted surfaces, defying normal gravitational expectations.
