'stock exchange' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'court over former pm accepting obsolete currency' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'ct'.
'over' indicates putting letters inside.
'former pm' becomes 'attlee' (Clement Attlee).
'accepting' is an insertion indicator.
'obsolete currency' becomes 'mark' (I have seen 'old currency' mean 'mark' so perhaps 'currency' could also mean 'mark'. I am not sure about the 'obsolete' bit.).
'attlee' placed around 'mark' is 'attlemarke'.
'ct' placed around 'attlemarke' is 'CATTLE MARKET'.

'in' acts as a link.
