Departed from our English town (Barking) (2,6,4,2)
I believe the answer is:
no longer with us
'departed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'from our english town barking' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'town' could be 't' (abbreviation for town) and 't' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
