OWNERS of the fire-hit Crooked House pub were ordered to stop illegal demolition of another site set to earn them £10million profit.

Carly and Adam Taylor are linked to companies which razed a former bank HQ after council permission to do so ran out.

Health and safety officials stepped in to halt the process.

They said untrained operatives were at the Giro Building in Bootle, Merseyside, and dangerous asbestos was being disturbed.

A business linked to the Taylors bought the former Santander HQ for £3.2million in March.

Permission to demolish it was granted in 2019 — but only for three years.

Selling the site once it had been cleared would have netted a £10million profit.

Meanwhile, August’s suspected arson attack on the 18th century Crooked House in Dudley, West Mids, is still under police investigation.

The Taylors were approached for comment.
