Elevator's place (5)
I believe the answer is:
shaft
'elevator's place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for shaft that I've seen before include "Ray; access hole to a mine" , "Vertical passageway, into a mine say" , "A little light" , "Handle - rod - passageway" , "Beam - well" .)
