Dark near end of street (5)
I believe the answer is:
night
'dark' is the definition.
(it's dark at nighttime)
'near end of street' is the wordplay.
'near' becomes 'nigh' (synonyms).
'end of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'street' is 't'.
'nigh'+'t'='NIGHT'
(Other definitions for night that I've seen before include "See 1 Across" , "Hours of darkness" , "See 8" , "Thing (anag)" , "Time without 10" .)
