Flash, Bang Wallop....... - a photo on Flickriver

            The New Inn public house on Brown Lane in the village of Flash in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Thought to be over 250 years old, this is the highest village pub in Britain and apparently the fith highest pub in the country.
The road sign when entering Flash claims the village to be 1518 feet above sea level, but a recent survey carried out in conjunction with the television show Amazing Villages presented by Tony Francis claims the village to be 1558 feet above sea level.
The village sits close to the border of Staffordshire where it meets both the borders of Derbyshire and Cheshire.
The village gained an historic reputation for being a somewhat lawless place where vagabonds and thieves could hide from the law by skipping into a different county to avoid arrest.
The name Flash is reputed to have come from the local term "Flash money", counterfeited coinage struck using the button presses of the cottage industry local workers associated with the nearby silk industry.
