Crossword Genius

The Post produced up in Williamsburg (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mail

'the post' is the definition.
('mail' can be a synonym of 'post')

'up in williamsburg' is the wordplay.
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'liam' is hidden within 'williamsburg'.
'liam' back-to-front is 'MAIL'.

'produced' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mail that I've seen before include "Paper" , "Posted letters" , "Armour of interlinked metal rings" , "American post from Lima" , "Post or body armour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
