Clough was born to Michael "Gordon" Clough and Irene Clough (née Smith) in Warialda, New South Wales on 22 October 1927.
Although christened Ralph James he was known as "little Mick" after his father.

After leaving school he followed his father's occupation and worked for the Postmaster-General's Department then Australia Post as a telegraphist and postmaster for a total of 34 years in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia before entering politics.
As a telegram boy during World War II, he was often an unwelcome sight, bringing bad news of loved ones.
He served as a member of the Citizens Military Force from 1948 to 1964.
Having joined the Australian Labor Party in 1948, Clough stood unsuccessfully in the 1973 State election for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in the electoral district of Blue Mountains.
In 1951, Clough, aged 24, married Doreen Frost and they had three children: Elizabeth, Peter and David.
Peter Clough went on to play interstate cricket for Tasmania and Western Australia, and was inducted into the Tasmanian Cricket Hall of Fame.
He entered public office as an alderman on the Blue Mountains City Council from 1974 to 1979.
He was a Labor Party Member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1976 to 1981, representing the electorate of Blue Mountains and representing the electorate of Bathurst from 1981 to 1988 and again from 1991 to 1999.
In 1976 Clough again contested the seat of Blue Mountains, this time winning the election and reversing the victory of the independent sitting member Harold Coates three years earlier.
Clough was subsequently re-elected in the 1978 State election.
In the 1981 State election, following an electoral boundary adjustment, Clough stood for election in the electoral district of Bathurst which he won defeating Country Party of Australia sitting member, Clive Osborne with a margin of 0.05%.

At the 1988 State election, Clough lost the seat to Liberal candidate David Berry.
