Nottingham Close is a side street of Robin Hood Road near St John's, Woking. As this vicinity is rich in localities named after Robin Hood it seems highly likely that Nottingham Close is part of the local Robin Hood theme. It is not found on any of the maps listed below and so must have come into being since the mid-20th century.
