Sherwood Drive, Skellow.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-06-18. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-02-13.
Given its location in or very near Barnsdale, it seems likely that the name of the residential street Sherwood Drive was inspired by that other stamping ground of Robin Hood's. The houses on Sherwood Drive are all of fairly recent date, so a 20th (or 21st?) century date seems likely.
