Sherwood House.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-21. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-02-13.
The next-door neighbour to the recently closed Robin Hood at 1 Furze Platt Road, c. 10 m NE of the pub, is a private residence named Sherwood House.[1] It is hard to imagine that its name was not inspired by that of its neighbour.
