Birmingham, West Midlands

Baskerville House is a former civic building in Centenary Square and was built on the former estate of Easy Hill, the home of the wealthy printer John Baskerville. In 1971, riots broke out in the city and three looters broke into the wine cellar, unaware that the house above had been set alight. The men died in the fire and their spirits have been blamed for a negative atmosphere in the cellar and strange goings on in the house ever since.
