The Crooked House was built around 1765 and was originally a farmhouse. During the 1800s, mining in the area caused one side of the building to subside. It later became a public house called the Siden House, siden meaning “crooked” in the local Black Country dialect. The building was later named the Glynne Arms after the local landowner. It was condemned in 1940 due to safety issues. However, such was its appeal, the brewery took the necessary undertakings to secure the foundations to keep it of the appearance we see today.

 

It is reputedly haunted by a man that stands by the fireplace, a servant girl and child. Footprints have been reported to appear on mopped floors, and handprints on recently cleaned brass. Items have been thrown.
