Sherwood Place
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-05-25. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-07.
A housing complex on Pailton Road/Wolston Close, Solihull, built c. 2013, is named Sherwood Place, a name perhaps inspired by the presence of several localities with Robin Hood-related names in the area. It seems to have been built c. 2013.[1]
