EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of The Crooked House, Himley, Staffordshire. The Sitting Room captures a moment frozen in the early 1910s, showcasing the unique charm and character of this historic building.
Originally built during the early 19th century, The Crooked House earned its name due to subsidence caused by nearby mining activities. As one side of the building began sinking, it gradually acquired its distinctive slanting and angled appearance that continues to intrigue visitors to this day.
In circa 1830, the building was transformed into a public house known as the Siden House - a nod to its crooked nature in the local Black Country dialect. Over time, it became a beloved pub and restaurant known for its quirky architecture and warm hospitality.
The Sitting Room depicted in this print exudes an old-world charm with vintage furnishings such as a grandfather clock, ornate lampshades, and classic wooden doors. The atmosphere is steeped in history and nostalgia, inviting viewers to imagine themselves stepping into another era.
