Bad lot left dud coins in Birmingham suburb (6,9)
I believe the answer is:
sutton coldfield
'birmingham suburb' is the definition.
'bad lot left dud coins' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'lot'+'left'+'dud'+'coins'='lotleftdudcoins'
'lotleftdudcoins' anagrammed gives 'SUTTON COLDFIELD'.
'in' is the link.
(Another definition for sutton coldfield that I've seen is " somewhere in the Midlands".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
