Home in Northumbrian street? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nest

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

'home' is the definition.
(a bird's home)

'northumbrian street?' is the wordplay.
'northumbrian' becomes 'ne' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'street?' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'ne'+'st'='NEST'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nest that I've seen before include "Home of twigs, perhaps" , "Avian structure" , "Rook's residence?" , "Bird's retreat" , "Roost" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
