"The Crooked House"

The Crooked House is a public house in my home town of Dudley in the UK. It was built in 1765 and was originally a farmhouse, one side of the building is 4 feet taller than the other due to mining subsidence.
The leaning walls give optical illusions, these include glasses slowly sliding across 'level' tables and a marble appearing to roll uphill....
very weird........
