Beds, for example, or large, heavy drawer (5)
I believe the answer is:
shire
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'beds for example' is the first definition.
(Beds is short for Bedfordshire)
'large heavy drawer' is the second definition.
(type of large horse which draws things along)
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for shire that I've seen before include "English county" , "Powerful draught horse" , "Berks" , "Breed of draught horse" , "Heavy horse" .)
