The Tilted Barrel in Tipton, has been put up for auction by its owners - meaning 'Britain's wonkiest pub' may be no more.

It comes following the unfortunate loss of The Crooked House, and The Greyhound - both pubs that were victims of suspected arson attacks.

The Grade II Listed building, on High Street, Princes End, Tipton, is set to go under the hammer on Wednesday, October 25, with a guide price of £178,000.

It is being marketed by Cottons, Auctions, with interested buyers able to bid in person, online and via telephone.

Photos on the auction listing show that the inside has been almost ripped out with only few bits of furniture remaining that likens it to a pub.

Following the tragic blaze which saw The Crooked House reduced to rubble, The Tilted Barrel was then dubbed as Britain's wonkiest pub.

The Tilted Barrel stands proudly at a slant, after being hit by mining subsidence and consequently tilting not long after being built, leaving it with a "particularly obvious lean". The last subsidence to hit the pub was in 1896.
