Crooked House in Windsor

view map

While enjoying a pint of 4% ale in The Carpenters Arms pub I happened to notice this extremely crooked building directly across the pedestrian walkway.
Mind you, I only had 1 pint!
The Crooked House was built in 1592 and now serves as a tea room (and not a very good one according to foodie write-ups!)
Rumor has it that there are many underground passage ways that lead from Windsor Castle to The Carpenters Arms!
I wonder if Phillip is aware of Lizzy sneaking out at night....

This concludes my Windsor gallery! Thanks for visiting! :)

Excellent ending of this much too short gallery. Believe Phillip is the one sneaking out at night while the Queen is snoozing.V!

The little crooked house is soooo charming and so very British. I didn't see this when I was in Windsor. Darn. I love the story attached to it! VV

A nice humorous one to end this series with Stephanie. Nice shot and I enjoyed your description.

Charming little building. If I ever want to go to the carpenter's arms I just need to get a hug from my husband. lol Is that a little tiara I see in the front window?

Guest		23-Oct-2011 19:31
Wonderful image, Stephanie. Your camera had more than one and therein lies the problem. V

John Reynolds LRPS		23-Oct-2011 19:20
Nicely captured. You could have used Photoshop to straighten it!

Spectacular image

So, it's stood there for 419 years. I think it's safe to go into it now... Apart from food poisoning... Good find

Jim Coffman		23-Oct-2011 18:55
Wow, that looks like something I would build! Nice capture! V

It must be very difficult making tea without a level hob... those critics should be more forgiving :o)
