The Nottingham area with 3 names - and even has a fourth option

There's an area in Nottingham that's caused heads to be scratched for years over which neighbourhood its's actually in. The area in question is where the A60 Mansfield Road has its junction with A6211 Thackeray's Lane and Ribblesdale Road is known as Sherwood, Woodthorpe and Daybrook, depending on who you ask.

Ever so slightly to the north of the junction on the left side facing north are a small number of shops, one of which is called Sherwood Lighting. Directly opposite is The Vale pub which has a Woodthorpe address, and to the south of that are shops and takeaways, one of which is called Woodthorpe Tandoori.

And that's before mentioning Daybrook, which starts at Nottingham High sports fields, runs alongside Nottingham City Hospital adjacent to A6514 Valley Road, by Thackeray's Lane recreation ground and stops just short of Arnold Fire Station, which is in Daybrook. No wonder it has caused so much confusion.
