The owners of a Black Country pub which was gutted by fire and then demolished two days later experienced another huge fire on land they owned.

The Crooked House, near Dudley, had recently been sold to its new owners.

The cause of a previous blaze at Finmere landfill, Buckinghamshire, in August 2018 was never established.

Adam Taylor is director of AT Contracting and Plant Hire Ltd, which, according to Land Registry documents, owns the Finmere site.

His wife, Carly, controls the company ATE Farms Limited, which bought the “wonky” Black Country landmark in July.

Mrs Taylor also currently controls AT Contracting and Plant Hire Ltd, which the BBC understands rented a digger a week before flames engulfed The Crooked House on 5 August.

    Hope this develops like a proper soap story line. Serial killer arsonist keeps getting away with it due to a series of annoying injustices but finally gets their comeuppance when they do one murder fire too many.
