Locksley Avenue is one of a cluster of eleven, mainly residential, streets with Robin Hood/Ivanhoe-themed names in Kirk Sandall. 'Locksley' is of course Robin Hood's nom de guerre in Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (1820). The houses on Locksley Avenue look fairly recent, so the street is probably of 20th century origin.
