Comments on the clue
1.'Dead centre of town' works as a cryptic def. of 'graveyard' or 'cemetery', but 'Dead centre' alone is too vague for 'morgue' (see 46)
2.A simple and pleasing cryptic def that really stands out – my favourite
3.With no wordplay this could be clue to graveyard, heaven, hell, etc.
4.Seems like a reasonable cryptic definition, but has a two-word clue ever won this comp?
