Robin Hood Place (Church Gresley, Swadlincote).
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-23. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
Robin Hood Place is a warren of small industrial plots which perhaps looks slightly out of place in a somewhat rural area. Robin Hood Metals at Robin Hood Place was established in 1969, so most likely the name 'Robin Hood Place' is at least as old as that.
