Sherwood Green.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-12-31. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-04-05.
Sherwood Green is a residential street in the village of Robin Hood in Wakefield. A 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1947, but based on a survey carried out in 1938, shows the street under construction (see Maps section below). Before then the area belonged to the Robin Hood Colliery. Given the predilection for Robin Hood-related place-names in the area it would seem a relatively certain guess that Sherwood Green owes its name to Sherwood Forest's connection with the outlaw.
