People seen, at last, working (8)
I believe the answer is:
cobblers
'people' is the definition.
(cobbler is a kind of person)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cobblers that I've seen before include "Shoe workers - nonsense!" , "They make and mend shoes" , "They used the last" , "drinks > moonshine" , "fruit pies" .)
