Henry from Shanklin (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hank

'henry' is the definition.
(short for Henry)

'from shanklin' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'HANK' is hidden in the letters of 'shanklin'.

(Other definitions for hank that I've seen before include "Skein (of wool, hair)" , "Loop of yarn" , "-- Marvin, guitarist" , "Loop of cord" , "Henry - coil of rope, wool or yarn" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
