Pint anyone?

...Think you need to twiddle your horizons, CT
Next stop the crooked house???

 

[Matt Charlton]

oh wow, thats wierd, I like that I really do. Wonder if the floors are level inside, its like a really wierd optical illusion and it makes your eyes go funny, weeee.

Great work

LOL. It's a bit of a local landmark and due to mining subsidence years ago. I haven't been in there for yonks and then you had to walk uphill to the bar!

I'm told they've now levelled the floors inside which is a bit of a shame, although perhaps not for the regulars.

Awesome pub!

 

[Matt]

all pubs look like that to me when i come out of them

 

[Gary Bagshawe]

Great shot, My world looks like that most of the time!!!!!!!!!! Remember my shots of the Maldives? not a single straight horizon.

 

[Steep]

Makes me feel ill just looking at it!

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

very funny... uphill to the bar, It'll be returning with hands full of drinks where the trouble starts.

[Matt Charlton]

You can tell they've levelled it out now - the couch that you can see through the tilted window is actually straight.

did someone tipex the L onto your lens? there some crazy distortion doing on in that lens, maybe you got a bad copy or a fake.....

 

[CT]

^^^^ Hmmmmm^^^^^

 

[moomike]

That looks like an awesome place to drink, wonder if it'd look straight after a few?

Is that the one where the barman bets he can roll a coin up the sloping bar? If it is then the inside is even more skew than outside - not the place to go for a heavy session!

I think that's The Crooked House, which Glo mentioned earlier in the thread.

Good find CT. Something very different..

 

[CT]

Well I didn't exactly 'find' it Tim, I've known about it for years, and it's right opposite the tyre fitters I use. I had to get a slow puncture fixed that day and remembered to grab the camera on the way out.

I wanted to take a lot more shots but the road is so busy the traffic made it impossible.

I wonder if it's a listed building?
