Thanks fiction-factory and shoota. Should have got chain gang! The clue says Staffordshire, can you explain pole please? I thought of a yard of cloth but I've already got yard for No.13 ? Stick.

a staff can be a stick or pole or rod
pole and rod were both measurements of length.
But doesn't work if clue says Staffordshire

//Ell. ... An ell (from Proto-Germanic *alinō, cognate with Latin ulna) is a unit of measurement originally understood as a cubit, the combined length of the forearm and extended hand.//

8 Staffordshire Knot is a type of fastening(ropes etc). A Knot is also a nautical measure.

Staffordshire one could be Stone (a place in Staffs. Or if St is abbreviation for Staffordshire the Staffordshire one= ST one)

Thanks elliemay1 that's a good suggestion. Of course a staff can be a pole, fiction-factory, my mind just wasn't thinking that way! If I can't think of anything else I'll use that answer despite it not really fitting the clue. Thanks everyone for your help

Sorry, Davemano, hadn't seen your answer - that sounds good, thanks. Also fiction-factory, another good idea! Will make my choice, thanks again for your help.

Thanks shoota for adding that suggestion for the cloth as I hadn't realised I already had Ell as another answer! I'd never heard of that - it's amazing what you learn on the AB!

It's what we used to call a length of cloth in Yorkshire but I never knew it was a specific length so I didn't suggest it earlier...
