Stuck on three of these does anyone have any clues.
The answers are British place names which contain a weight or unit of measurement,
11 Part of a hoof (7)
12 A staff plus receipts (8)
51 Not quite the last of 24 (6)
Thanks for any help.

12 You could hang your curtains from this 'staff'

[scorpiojo]

11 Which word can precede back or master (sorry, best I can do)

[scorpiojo]

Can you give us the clue for 24, please?

[saintstim]

24 was Christian name of this short story writer who is first cousin of Stanley Baldwin. I have the first name of the writer of the jungle book.

[scorpiojo]

Ta :)

[saintstim]

Thanks scorpiojo.
I am still struggling with numbers 12 and 51 but think I have got 11 from your clue.

[scorpiojo]

For 11, the whole word is a measure...

Have you worked out the first part of 12?

[mallyh]

what is no 24 it may help with 51

[scorpiojo]

Look up, mally xx

[mallyh]

[mallyh]

is 6 right for 24 as yard fits the clue?

[mallyh]

oh ignore that not a place ,sorry

[scorpiojo]

51 Not quite the last name

Look up the first part, it fits the theme.

[saintstim]

I think I have got 11. Never knew there was such a place. For 12 I keep thinking of rod and rail but not getting there. Thanks

51 theres a place in north riding that is close to the surname of 24 and the first letter is abbreviation for a measurement.

[scorpiojo]

???? - dancing

[scorpiojo]

..the first 3 letters of 51 are a measurement
