Where a cab turns up, near Manchester (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bacup

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

'where a' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'cab turns up near manchester' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'cab' is 'bac' which is present in the answer.
'up' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bacup that I've seen is " Lancashire town".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
