River passing through West Ham estate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thames

'river' is the definition.
(English river)

'passing through west ham estate' is the wordplay.
'passing through' indicates a hidden word.
'THAMES' is hidden within 'west ham estate'.

(Other definitions for thames that I've seen before include "River at Runnymede" , "Longest English river" , "capital banker" , "River at Windsor" , "London flood control" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
