Local punching setter in narrow alleyway (6)
I believe the answer is:
ginnel
'narrow alleyway' is the definition.
'ginnel' can be an answer for 'alleyway' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'narrow' bit.
'local punching setter' is the wordplay.
'local' becomes 'inn' (local can mean someone's local pub).
'punching' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters punch or puncture others).
'setter' becomes 'gel' (something which sets).
'inn' placed within 'gel' is 'GINNEL'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ginnel that I've seen is " alleyway".)
