Any other noteworthy or interesting fact about Clayton Le Moors would be much appreciated.

Only a couple of times. There is a book in Accrington library on the History of Clayton, one thing that sticks in my mind, the Bapstists that had the Macpelah church on Hyndburn Rd, where the petrol station is now, came from somewhere in Clayton around the mid 1700's, most of those grave stones that were on Hyndburn Rd are now in the grave yard up New lane Ossy.
