Indy 7848

[saladdodger]

Completely stuck in top left:
2d Relatively broad cross carried by old man over crates (8) ends in "D"
9a Current, unforeseen new Tudor building....... Ans is UNDERTOW

This leads to 10a ..... which might be one if it does this run (4,4) ends in "L"

7a Rules on air that smoker will resent (3,3)

Thanks for any help

10a mill race ?

[saladdodger]

Thanks oldred, but the 2nd word definitely ends in L . I now have
??N? / ???l

[Oldred]

long haul ?

[saladdodger]

Sorry i gave the wrong letters!
Should be ???N ???L
I'm thinking maybe down hill? but not sure why??

[Oldred]

I think downhill is one word

town hall ?

[saladdodger]

2d could be expanded x being the cross and pa the old man but e nded??
The x would make 7a ??? T?X probably ??? TAX
