Last updated 10th Jan 2024
One of the directors of the company which owned the Crooked House in Himley has stepped down, four months after a fire demolished the historic pub.
According to Companies House, Carly Taylor resigned from her position as director of ATE Farms Limited on 15 December.
The iconic pub was demolished just days after a suspected arson attack in August 2023. Several protests were held at the site, with calls for a rebuild.
The blaze came just two weeks after the building, which opened as a pub in the 18th century, was sold by brewer Marston's to private buyer ATE Farms Limited.
The company's current sole director is now listed on Companies House as George Adam Taylor.
Five men and one woman have been arrested over the fire, and remain on conditional bail.
