It?s a far cry from the Playboy Mansion.
Model Crystal Harris was brought up in the West Midlands pub in West Bromwich (right) ? a far cry from the Playboy Mansion in LA (inset) which is her new marital home. Surrounded by homes and disused industrial land, the tavern has been left to rot into a state of disrepair ? while her new home offers her and husband Hugh (left) a far more luxurious lifestyle.
This rundown Black Country boozer is where Hugh Hefner?s new bride spent her early years.
Before finding fame and fortune in the States, Crystal Harris grew up with dad Ray Harris and mum Lee Lovitt who ran the Ye Olde Rose & Crown in the West Midlands.
The family upped sticks and moved to California when Crystal and her sisters were kids ? and the rest is history.
The 26-year-old took up modelling ? and in 2008 she met Playboy tycoon Hugh Hefner at a party at his LA mansion.
The pair started dating and were due to marry in June 2011, but Crystal called off the engagement when she got cold feet.
But this week she became one of the richest women in America as 86-year-old Hef?s third wife in a lavish ceremony on New Year?s Eve.
But it could have all been so different if her parents hadn?t swapped gloomy West Bromwich for sunkissed California.
Since the Harris family left, the pub fell into ruin. It shut four years ago.
But locals still remember them ? and insist Crystal was destined for stardom, even as a kid.
Nigel Pritchett, the most recent landlord, remembers her entertaining regulars on a nightly basis.
He said: ?Even though Crystal was just a nipper when they were at the pub, she was known for having a belting voice.
?Everyone thought she was amazing.?
