This is the best summary I could come up with:
A fire which ripped through a landmark pub days before it was unexpectedly demolished is being treated as arson, police say.
The Crooked House, near Dudley in the Black Country, caught fire on Saturday night and was then bulldozed on Monday, prompting anger from local residents.
The pub, once Britain's "wonkiest", was sold by Marston's last month.
Staffordshire Police said on Wednesday investigations were continuing but the blaze was being treated as suspicious.
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
