Pink Elephants: no a pink pub Pub landlord in the pink Pranksters turned up in the dead of night and painted the Prince of Wales, which was built in 1540, reports the Daily Mirror.
Now the traditional black and white inn, part of a row of historic Tudor buildings, is a vivid pink.
Landlord Les Smith, 52, said: "I haven't a clue who would do this or why. We closed the pub after midnight. Then I came round at about half eight in the morning and it was pink."
Mr Smith said the cleaner arrived for work at 7am and saw two men in overalls packing up their rollers but assumed they were working to order.
And he had to admit they had done a professional job - and had even submitted an invoice for their work.
A West Mercia Police spokesman said: "We are looking at CCTV footage."
Why? Do they want the nick done as well?
