Where one can tie up in low fashion (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moorage

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

'where one can tie up' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'low fashion' is the wordplay.
'low' becomes 'moo' (both can mean to make a cow noise).
'fashion' becomes 'rage' (something all the rage is fashionable).
'moo'+'rage'='MOORAGE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moorage that I've seen before include "Berthing fee" , "Charge for leaving boat" , "Place to fasten" , "The price for stopping" , "Anchorage N or charge for using it!" .)
