A heavy note? (7)
Ten Hundredweight? (9)
Twenty twenty? (7)
Easy if you play bridge? (9)


Any help greatly appreciated

No2 MIDDLETON

[ProfessorMaisie]

No1 SINGLETON (a single is a £1 note)

[ProfessorMaisie]

No3 SCORTON? sounds like score = 20 + 20 cwt = 1 ton(but only if this clue follows the 'ten hundredweight clue')

[ProfessorMaisie]

sorry - too many letters for No1

[ProfessorMaisie]

No1 LONGTON (a 'long' is a double note).

4 Blackwood is a system used in bridge. It is also in Lancashire if it is within the range.

[ProfessorMaisie]

actually, SINGLETON works for No4 - as a lone card in any particular suit it's easy to play.

Davemano - I like BLACKWOOD, but can't track it down to check the distance (can only find Scots/Welsh options).

[Davemano]

Found on Google Earth. South West of Bacup came up with Blackwood Road, maybe mistaken. Ordinary google result is same.

[Davemano]

Maybe not Blackwood, can only see reference to roads etc, but I don't know the area. Sorry for misleading.

Thank you ProfessorMaisie and Davemano for your invaluable help. 7 more to go!
