Description:Wood and Sons Stores and the Traveller's Rest at Flash Bar on the A53 main road between Leek and Buxton. The caption reads: 'The Village Stores at Flash, where during the great snow blizzard of February 1933 the Air Ministry granted permission for provisions to be dropped from aeroplanes'. Now known as Flash Bar Stores (2023), the smaller part of the shop building was originally built as a turnpike tollhouse in 1771.
At 1,532 feet, the Traveller's Rest was renowned as the 3rd highest pub in the United Kingdom after the Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire and the Cat and Fiddle in Cheshire. Latterly known as the Knight's Table at the Traveller's Rest, the pub closed in 2017 and it is now the Knight's Table bed and breakfast holiday accommodation.
