Many thanks for your answers. I have another one now. Clue is : River town shops. A?o?a. Thanks again.

[Captain2]

Presumably these are 'straight' clues?

If so, are you sure of your letters?

Avoca?

[Captain2]

Molly - is this an Irish newspaper?

[Davemano]

Avoca is a river and a town near Wicklow, Leinster

[Captain2]

Hence my question Dave (can't imagine it being well known this side of the water)

[Captain2]

.... but where does 'shops' come into it?

[Tilly2]

Avoca shops everywhere!

[Davemano]

Apparently Avoca is and online shopping firm - probably a mini Amazon.

[Captain2]

Thank you Tilly! Never 'erd of 'em! ;))

[MollyBawn]

Yes it's an Irish paper. Avoca is right. I'm fascinated with all your amazing brains. Thank you all so much.
