Wikipedia has

Clayton-le-Moors is said to be a town of halves. Residents were 'top-ender' or 'bottom-ender', depending on which side of the Load O'Mischief pub, now demolished to make way for the M65 motorway. The two had firm opinions about each other and rarely mixed There was, however, an annual football match between each at the running track at Wilson's Playing Fields.

The reference given is

http://www.visitlancashire.com/site/...e-moors-p96170

but I can find no mention of the subject there. Mind you that site also has a picture of the Market Hall which is labelled as the Town Hal lso I don't know how reliable it is.
