' Sherwood Vale. Originally an old footpath from Mapperley through the back of Woodthorpe Grange to Scout Lane (later to be renamed Woodthorpe Drive). The Nottingham Patent Brick Company found themselves quarrying on either side of this footpath which formed a junction with the first part of Sherwood Vale close to the north eastern boundary (trees and hedge) of Woodthorpe Grange. Eventually the path became a road which extended Sherwood Vale, from its junction with Mapperley Rise at a point close to Sherwood Station, through to Woodborough Road near Mapperley's first electric tram terminus near the police station and Nottingham Corporation's covered water reservoir.
