Locks in canal at Cheshunt (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latches

'locks' is the definition.
(latch is a kind of lock)

'in canal at cheshunt' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LATCHES' is hidden within 'canal at cheshunt'.

(Other definitions for latches that I've seen before include "Door catches" , "locks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
