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.
