Run and hide in tell-tale city (10)

I believe the answer is:

canterbury

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

'tell-tale city' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'run and hide' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'canter' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hide' becomes 'bury' (burying is a kind of hiding).
'canter'+'bury'='CANTERBURY'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for canterbury that I've seen before include "Stand" , "Tellers of Chaucer's tales" , "where Becket fell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
