Hi Croeso.
Summary so far of sensible and dodgy, possibly answers:
1 Smashes up cars (9) ... KNUTSFORD
2 This place is not creepy…. (7) ...
CRAWLEY
3 was George born here (5) ... FORMBY
4 Bovines (3) ... COWES (outstanding question for you about no. of letters).
I'd like to add these two suggestions:
3 CUPAR (after George Cooper).
4 AYR (type of cattle?).
BW.
