A place in Surrey; for example, Ham (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egham

'a place in surrey' is the definition.
(Egham is a town in Surrey)

'example ham' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'eg'+'ham'='EGHAM'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for egham that I've seen before include "Somewhere in Surrey" , "Surrey town near Runnymede" , "Thames-side town" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
