Quiet about unfashionable demise for resort (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

southend

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

'resort' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'quiet about unfashionable demise' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'sh' ('sh' is used to tell someone to be quiet).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'unfashionable' becomes 'out' (similar in meaning).
'demise' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sh' placed around 'out' is 'south'.
'south'+'end'='SOUTHEND'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for southend that I've seen is " Essex resort".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
