And other stories from the stranger side of life
The UK’s “wonkiest pub” has closed after 192 years, said Metro. Originally built as a farmhouse in 1765, The Crooked House became a pub in the 1830s. The building started to sink in the 1800s due to subsidence caused by mining. It has attracted visitors from across the world due to its unique, wonky design, with one side of the building 1.2m lower than the other. Coins and marbles could be rolled uphill along the bar, noted the paper.
