Do up shop near the centre of Alfreton (7)
I believe the answer is:
restore
'do up' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'shop near the centre of alfreton' is the wordplay.
'shop' becomes 'store' (synonyms).
'near' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the centre of' indicates the central letters.
The centre of 'alfreton' is 're'.
'store' put after 're' is 'RESTORE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for restore that I've seen before include "Strengthen" , "Bring back, reinstate" , "Give back - return to former state" , "Make good, reinstate" , "Cure" .)
