Having passageways or a road invaded by rebel (7)
I believe the answer is:
arcaded
'having passageways' is the definition.
(an arcade is a type of passage)
'a road invaded by rebel' is the wordplay.
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'invaded by' indicates putting letters inside.
'rebel' becomes 'cade' (15th-century rebel Jack Cade).
'rd' enclosing 'cade' is 'rcaded'.
'a'+'rcaded'='ARCADED'
'or' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
