'remnants' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'wrecked bus on the street' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' indicates an anagram.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'bus' anagrammed gives 'ubs'.
'ubs' put after 'st' is 'STUBS'.

'of a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stubs that I've seen before include "Butts" , "residual pieces" .)
