How many people are here…because of the demise of the crooked house?
Me and I am Irish
Want to see the Crooked House rebuilt? It CAN be done ! Check out the Carlton Tavern in Maida Vale, London which HAS BEEN totally and exactly rebuilt after it was demolished without permission in 2015
That sounds promising!…it so very sad what’s happened to the crooked house…lets hope they can do something!
It could be done in the black country museum
@@OscarOSullivanThey have no money or space for it.
@@FateBoost Oh thanks just read that what a shame
Look at the happiest times then compared to now Britain has gone downhill.....
terrorist state
At least we have footage like this to remind us how beautiful the country was before the rot set in.
You might want to look at the government rather than people in boats. @@stevie46
Shame we had to import so many third worlders.
@@stevie46 This pub was destroyed by white Britons(allegedly), an the country is being destroyed by Tory Brexiters.
Those houses looked beautiful. Shame it got replace by ugly ones.
I know which Dudley i'd prefer to live in😉
RIP
Great old footage! 👍
Though at war at the time, the UK was a better place then on practically every level. Look at it now.
A 'miner' separation. Good one.
I drank In the Crooked house only a couple of times, weird but great boozer!! Shame about the fire!! I hope they rebuild it!
i only realised that it was called the black country recently because of coal.................phew
Dudley is most definitely in the Black Country and a much blacker country than in the 1940s.
the cooked will never ever be rebuilt the crooks who knocked it down knew that
The march of progress and look at Britain in 2023.
How pays for the rebuild?
