Extracts

The History of Lockwood and North Crosland (1980) by Brian Clarke:

DRYCLOUGH.
A narrow cleft or valley in which water rarely flows. In practice, our local Dryclough does possess a stream, but it no doubt quickly dries up in summer. Folk tales say that this stream supplied a pond in Swan Lane, upon which swans did live, thereby giving name to the road. There is probably an element of truth in the tale, for the North Crosland Enclosure Act 1799/1802 provided for a stone walled drain from Dryclough head, near today's Sand House Inn, via Swan Lane and down to the river at Lockwood Bridge.
