Sherwood Avenue, Sutton.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-06-18. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-07.
Given its location in or very near Barnsdale, it seems likely that the name of the residential street Sherwood Close was inspired by that other stamping ground of Robin Hood's. The houses on Sherwood Avenue are all of fairly recent date, so a 20th (or 21st?) century date seems likely. Sherwood Avenue has a side street named Marian Crescent.
