Bank and Temple man held inside before (9)
I believe the answer is:
waterside
'bank' is the definition.
(waterside is a kind of bank)
'temple man held inside before' is the wordplay.
'temple' becomes 'wat' (type of Asian temple eg Angkor Wat).
'man' becomes 'sid' (man's name).
'held inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'before' becomes 'ere' (usually literary).
'sid' inserted into 'ere' is 'erside'.
'wat'+'erside'='WATERSIDE'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for waterside that I've seen before include "river bank" , "riverbank" .)
