Press copper and lead on rough road (8)
I believe the answer is:
cupboard
'press' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'copper and lead on rough road' is the wordplay.
'copper' becomes 'cu' (chemical symbol).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'lead' becomes 'pb' (Pb is the chemical symbol for lead).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'rough' is an anagram indicator (a rough or broken ordering of the letters).
'road' is an anagram of 'oard'.
'pb' placed inside 'oard' is 'pboard'.
'cu'+'pboard'='CUPBOARD'
(Other definitions for cupboard that I've seen before include "Store for crockery etc" , "Piece of furniture for stores" , "Closet" , "Hubbard found it bare" , "Furniture item for storage" .)
