Doesn't change, this place (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ostend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'doesn't change' is the wordplay.
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'doesnt' with letters rearranged gives 'OSTEND'.

'this' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ostend that I've seen before include "Port -- stoned (anag)" , "Belgian ferry port" , "Channel port" , "Belgian port and resort" , "Port - doesn't (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
