Cockney stocking seller and basket maker (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

osier

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cockney stocking seller' is the first definition.
('hosier' - I've seen this in another clue - said with a cockney accent, dropping the 'H')

'basket maker' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for osier that I've seen before include "Basket-maker" , "Wood" , "... source of twigs to make baskets" , "Small willow; its shoot" , "Bit of tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
