Former photographer the famous court? (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
old bailey
'famous court?' is the definition.
'old bailey' can be an answer for 'court?' (famous English courthouse). I'm not sure about the 'famous' bit.
'former photographer' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'old' (both can mean previous).
'photographer' becomes 'bailey' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'old'+'bailey'='OLD BAILEY'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for old bailey that I've seen before include "suitable for trial in London" , "London's Central Criminal Court" , "Central Criminal Court in London" , "Courts" .)
