He has made three videos on the famous pub including one on its history, a timeline of events since it was burned down and destroyed in August 2023 and another on the anniversary of the events, when a rally and music event was held at Himley Hall.

As well as that he produced a hat with a model of the Crooked House on top of it made by artist Chris Weaver which he has been adding to himself.

He now hopes to donate the hat in a glass frame and the videos to Dudley Archives so people in the Black Country can view them at their leisure when they visit the Tipton Road site
