Has this street real potential in the outskirts of Henley? (6)
I believe the answer is:
harley
'has this street' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'real potential in the outskirts of henley?' is the wordplay.
'potential' indicates anagramming the letters (another potential order of the letters).
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'outskirts of' suggests removing the centre (only letters on the outskirts).
'henley' with its centre taken out is 'hy'.
'real' with letters rearranged gives 'arle'.
'arle' placed into 'hy' is 'HARLEY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
