I came across this interesting article in the Telegraph about “The Flying Childers Inn”,Stanton in Peak.
It is a stone’s throw from Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Bakewell in the Derbyshire Peak District.

Derbyshire school leads the recycling way
Eco-school Bamford Primary has become one of the highest voluntary sector contributors to Derbyshire's recycling efforts.
The school's monthly paper collection has raised over £23,000 since it was launched in November 1995 and over 520 tonnes of paper collected.
The paper collection - which in recent years has been run by parent Clive Hobbs - is the brainchild of former PTFA Chair Tony Hodges.
He says: "The scheme has gone from strength to strength.
"Many local people who have no direct involvement with the school now save their paper for our famous first-Saturday-in-the-month collection and we've always been tremendously lucky to have plenty of willing volunteers to help load the paper into the collection lorry.
"It's fantastic to have raised so much money – and an added bonus to be making such a great contribution to Derbyshire/s recycling targets."
The extra funds have provided many extra improvements and initiatives and everyone involved should be congratulated in their efforts.
