Crooked House of Windsor

The Crooked House of Windsor, in 2012 when it still was a tea shop.

The Crooked House of Windsor (also known as the Market Cross House) in Windsor, England, is a building constructed in 1592. The building now stands at a marked angle, having been rebuilt with green wood in 1718. There is a secret passage in the basement, supposedly used for illicit trysts between Nell Gwynn and Charles II and/or delivering produce from the market to the kitchens of Windsor Castle.

In recent years, the building had housed a tea shop, but as of January 2015 the tea shop closed. The building is currently undergoing renovation and is set to open in September.[1] Going to open October 6th as the first Jersey Pearl Shop in the UK.
