00:00OK Tony, so you're campaigning to get the crooked house rebuilt, is that right?

00:04That's correct, yes I've been campaigning since it was pulled down.

00:07Twelve months ago, the Monday, Tuesday I was doing all the filming and I met some wonderful

00:13people.

00:14If it weren't for the crooked house, I know it's wrong, but if it weren't for the crooked

00:19house I'd have still been in my shell now.

00:22These people have got me out of my shell and I can't sat in a crooked house enough and

00:27I have the crooked house a lot.

00:29So just explain what's happening, why am I meeting you today, it's all about a documentary

00:35isn't it?

00:36Right, well it is.

00:37The films which I've produced, I've produced several, they've been handed out at Dudley

00:42Archives.

00:43A friend of mine is going to talk to me about the crooked house, she then is going to put

00:49it on Facebook.

00:50I'm talking about the crooked house, what's involved and the history of it for the future

00:55generations to watch.

00:57That's wonderful.

00:58So what do you think the actual chances are of the crooked house being rebuilt?

01:02I'd say 100% but the only problem is they might want to fix it on to a different part

01:08of the land because there's the brook down there and that's what creates a lot of problems

01:13besides the coal mine.

01:15But I think if it's rebuilt, they'll build it a bit further along.

01:19We don't need to go to the museum.

01:21The people did not see it in the museum, they saw it here.

01:25It's history for future generations.

01:28For their children and their grandchildren and that's why we're campaigning it's got

01:32to be rebuilt for the people of the black country and worldwide who's moved abroad.

01:38Very good.

01:39And the documentaries, Tony, where can people see them?

01:41Do you know when they're coming out at all?

01:43My films are on the crooked house site now.

01:46There's five of them but they're all links.

01:49What it is, I'm compiling all my films into one, eventually, it'll be probably about three

01:56weeks time and it's going to be called The Crooked House Longest Video.

02:02That's all my films in one but as it is now, they've got the links, what they can go on

02:07site with and The Crooked House at Himley, the anniversary, which was August, that's

02:14called The Crooked House Anniversary, Himley Hall, August 2024, they can view that now.

02:23Fantastic.

02:24And that's on the Facebook page is it?

02:25It's on YouTube.

02:26Oh, it's on YouTube.

02:27Lovely.

02:28Excellent.

02:29That's great.
