Location of terrible riots in the outskirts of Blackpool (7)
I believe the answer is:
bristol
'location' is the definition.
(Bristol is an example)
'terrible riots in the outskirts of blackpool' is the wordplay.
'terrible' is an anagram indicator.
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'outskirts of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'blackpool' with its middle taken out is 'bl'.
'riots' anagrammed gives 'risto'.
'risto' going inside 'bl' is 'BRISTOL'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bristol that I've seen before include "Brief stay" , "City on the river Avon" , "Place associated with fashion" , "Port (or sherry?)" , "car" .)
