A place in Surrey; for example, Ham (5)
I believe the answer is:
egham
'a place in surrey' is the definition.
(Egham is a town in Surrey)
'example ham' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'eg'+'ham'='EGHAM'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for egham that I've seen before include "Somewhere in Surrey" , "Surrey town near Runnymede" , "Thames-side town" .)
