            It's correct -

            "street in short" = st
            "st" lengthened = stone

            I took a bit of a liberty equating a past participle used as an adjective ("cobbled") with a noun that is commonly used as an adjective ("stone") but I hope I wasn't being too unfair with this definition.

              Oof. You've certainly made me feel better about sumbitting the relatively uncomplicated and convention-conformist 'Antelope'.

                Well, you say that, but I must admit I saw your name on the thread and thought "Oh no, mumpo's done another clue."

                  I was thinking a bit about "antelope" on my way into work this morning, as it happens, and I think that part of the problem with it was that the clue doesn't really contain a definition.

                    Yeah, the problems were it didn't have a definition, and that the solution itself formed part of the clue, neither of which are really acceptable.

                          Assuming my solution was correct, of course.
