1950s housing on the Robin Hood Estate, so called because most of the road names in the area have connections with Robin Hood, inspired by the name of an area of woodland called Robin Hood Shaw which was on part of the site. Much of Oakdene Road was laid out in the 1930s, but this westernmost section, between Forest Way and Kedleston Drive, came later, built on part of Covet Wood.
