Locksley Drive.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-11-20. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-11-20.
A short bit of road which connects Robin Hood Road and Lockfield Drive about midway between Knaphill and St John's, Woking, is named Locksley Drive. As there are several other Robin Hood-related place-names in the vicinity, it seems very likely the name refers to the Robin Hood tradition.
