PROTESTERS have blocked the burnt-out remains of the Crooked House – after contractors moved in to remove rubble where the pub once stood.<\/p>\n

Work has reportedly begun to clear bricks at the site of the West Midlands pub two weeks after it was gutted by a suspected arson attack.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But yesterday afternoon a sit-down protest on the lane leading to the pub stopped a lorry from reaching it.<\/p>\n

Local Jane Baker, 59, said: "We're doing this, and all the people who have arrived today, because we care very much about our heritage, our history and the Crooked House.<\/p>\n

"She's always stood there at the bottom of this lane. She means a lot to us all. <\/p>\n

"What's happened is wrong and we need to make a stand, all of us."<\/p>\n

"We're making a stand for a very iconic building. This is why we are sitting in the road."<\/p>\n

Resident Bethany Carpenter told the BBC: "There's a lack of transparency and communication and we've had to really fight today for answers – and to get to the truth.<\/p>\n

"We're worried that perhaps something might happen, that they'll demolish the whole thing and get rid of the foundations.<\/p>\n

"That would make it an impossible situation for anything to be rebuilt."<\/p>\n

\u00a0South Staffordshire Council said: "The council is aware of a contractor onsite and is engaging with the site owners and contractors to investigate what works are taking place.<\/p>\n

"We are still currently ascertaining all the facts so cannot comment any further on this specific matter.<\/p>\n

"The council is still investigating the full incident and formalising next steps.<\/p>\n

"We cannot comment on any element of the ongoing investigation, so that we do not potentially prejudice our enforcement action. <\/p>\n

"We will provide updates on our website as soon as we are able."<\/p>\n

Staffordshire Police said: "We are aware of a small protest earlier in the day at Himley as we continue to investigate an arson attack at The Crooked House.<\/p>\n

"At 1.26pm yesterday, we received reports that a group of protestors had turned up at the site.<\/p>\n

"Local officers are currently in attendance as a precaution and to reassure the community.<\/p>\n
