Gurth Avenue is one out of a cluster of eleven, mainly residential, streets with Robin Hood/Ivanhoe-themed names in Kirk Sandall. The houses on Gurth Avenue look fairly recent, so the street is probably of 20th century origin. In Ivanhoe, Gurth is a swineherd to Cedric the Saxon, the father of Wilfred of Ivanhoe.
