Talk:Flash, Staffordshire

message: I suspect that Flash is also the highest in GB and probably the UK? Apparently the highest in Scotland is  Wanlockhead (1380ft asl). Is there a Welsh contender?? Linuxlad 09:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: wanlockhead is 467m so is the highest village in the UK. This needs updated. 84.69.158.94 (talk) 00:29, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Consult the Ordnance Survey map (select "Ordnance Survey" at top right).  The whole of Wanlockhead village is clearly below the 450m contour. The Visit Scotland source is wrong. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:31, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

message: I found the detail on 3 shires quite interesting, which is why I added it. We don't have a 3 shires article - perhaps we should. It was presumably useful as a) lonely, b) at the boundary between 3 police jurisdictions - there is a great tradition of police not pursuing miscreants once they leave their area. And of course the penalty for 'coining' was pretty draconian, since it counted as treason. Bob aka Linuxlad 13:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have re-arranged the layout to create a Table of Contents, and added some additional material, primarily from my sources on Methodist history.  I trust the quotations from the history booklet are within permitted use in terms of being only a sample and not the complete booklet.  To save writing time, I took this from my own web site, now linked from this article.  I need to locate my copy and give the correct title of the booklet.

message: Flash might be the third highest village in Britain.  Wanlockhead is the highest village in Britain as Scotland is part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain.  It’s neighbouring village is the second highest.  
Flash is the highest village in England.  In this instance Scotland win’s. 194.72.27.113 (talk) 21:54, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Provide a source, and people can debate it. There is evidence that Flash is higher than Wanlockhead further up this talk page. Dave.Dunford (talk) 23:44, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Highest Village in Britain 

message: Wanlockhead in Scotland is higher. Scotland is part of the UK/britian is it not? 2A00:23C6:4100:B701:64FA:B37:6B86:C8B7 (talk) 09:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but you're missing the point completely. Wanlockhead is  lower than Flash and the 1,531 ft elevation for the former is bogus, whatever Visit Scotland and the village sign say. Look at the Ordnance Survey maps for Wanlockhead and Flash. 1,531 feet is 467m, and yet the whole of Wanlockhead village is below the 450m contour (and all of Flash village is above it). There is a spot height of  above most of the houses of Wanlockhead. The only building near Wanlockhead that approaches 467m is Glengonnar Station on the Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway, which is a mile outside the village, but if you use the highest building as your measure, Flash is still higher – there are houses at the western end of Flash that are above the 475m contour, higher than Glengonnar Station. This is cut and dried. How many times does it have to be pointed out? Dave.Dunford (talk) 18:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
