On Sherwood Road in Sherwood, Tunbridge Wells.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-11-10. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
'Sherwood Park' is now the name of residential cul-de-sac on the north side of Pembury Road in the Tunbridge Wells neighbourhood of Sherwood. It was also during part of the 20th century the name of a wooded area previously known as Sherwood, which latter was exteneded to the entire neighbourhood.
The residential street seems to be of late 20th century date.
