It's the name, isn't it? My dad used to say of something really odd that 'it made as much sense as a Heckmondwike pie'.

Ha! I remember it as "Cleckhuddersfax". Another chap I used know referred to "Cleckheckmondsedge", which presumably is a slightly more localised region.

Exactly, hence the expression.
Heckmondwike is known for its blankets and football boots, as worn by Sir Stanley Matthews.
