Re: Chequers cottages in Clayton
Sorry, can't help, but came across this, relating to Clayton-le-Moors.
'Nick of Dungnow' was a local notability of a different kind.
Aikin (1795) says he was an idiot, 'of whose simplicity united with a natural shrewdness many tales are still current in popular tradition'; Country round Manch. 278.

Is he still talked about?
Did find a nice photograph of the cottages.
