Drunk and asleep in walkway (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esplanade

'walkway' is the definition.
(I know that esplanade is a type of Promenade)

'drunk and asleep' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'and'+'asleep'='andasleep'
'andasleep' anagrammed gives 'ESPLANADE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for esplanade that I've seen before include "Seaside road" , "Seaside walking area" , "Level seashore walkway" , "front" , "Seafront walkway" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
