Historic 'Crooked House' pub destroyed in arson, two men arrested

The Crooked House pub, built in 1765, was set on fire and demolished.
Two men, ages 33 and 66, were arrested for the arson attack.
The pub was famous for its slanted walls due to coal mining subsidence.
Locals were devastated and started a petition to rebuild the pub.
The petition received over 22,000 signatures supporting restoration.
