Farm animals not reared in Durham location (8)

I believe the answer is:

stockton

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

'durham location' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'farm animals not reared' is the wordplay.
'farm animals' becomes 'stock' (I've seen this before).
'reared' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'rearing' mean this (as in a horse rearing up)).
'not' in reverse letter order is 'ton'.
'stock'+'ton'='STOCKTON'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stockton that I've seen before include "- - -on-Tees" , "From here, early passengers" , "English town with former castle" , "Town near 1 Across [REDCAR]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
