Kedleston Drive
Mainly 1930s 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. However the connection here (the origin presumably being Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire) is less obvious,
These houses are in a short northern section of Kedleston Drive which was laid out in the 1930s, being shown on the 1945 6 inch map (based on a 1938 revision) marked as Kedelstone Drive. The 1950 map again only shows the same section, by now with its current spelling. The rest of the road was built in the 1950s, built on part of Covet Wood.

Roundabout, Forest Way
On a part of Poverest estate with road names with a Robin Hood theme, inspired by the name of an area of woodland called Robin Hood Shaw which was on part of the site. The Oak tree presumably predates the estate, although comparison of the site with old mapping suggests that I was in open land between Robin Hood Shaw and another area of woodland (part of which still survives) called Covet Wood.
