Six arrested over Crooked House fire freed on bail a year after devastating blaze

Staffordshire Police made the announcement, confirming that the investigation into the alleged arson attack from a year ago was continuing.

“The six people who were arrested have been released on bail and are now being released under investigation,” a spokesman said. “Our investigation is ongoing.”

The 158-year-old building at Himley, near Dudley – dubbed Britain’s most haunted pub – was badly damaged in a fire on August 5 last year.

Two days later it was demolished, without planning permission.
