Layers of deposits and hair in sewer (10)
I believe the answer is:
seamstress
'sewer' is the definition.
(someone who sews)
'layers of deposits and hair' is the wordplay.
'layers of deposits' becomes 'seams' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hair' becomes 'tress' (tress is a kind of hair).
'seams'+'tress'='SEAMSTRESS'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seamstress that I've seen before include "Midinette" , "needlewoman" , "Woman who sews for a living" , "sewer" , "Dressmaker" .)
