Arrests Made in Arson Attack on Iconic Crooked House Pub

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life after an 18th-century British pub, known for its lopsided walls and sagging foundation, was burned down in Himley, England.

Supporters are now pushing for the pub to be rebuilt brick by brick, and an online petition to save it has garnered over 22,000 signatures.
