Half an hour getting dry out in the lane (5)
I believe the answer is:
drury
'the lane' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'half an hour getting dry out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'half an hour' could be 'ur' and 'ur' is found within the answer.
'dry out' could be 'dry' ('dry' can be a synonym of 'dry out') and 'dry' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drury that I've seen before include "Nell Gwyn's Lane" , "- - Lane (theatre)" , "London lane/theatre" , "Lane in London''s theatreland" .)
