Full Description

Conjure Alders. Most of the perambulations of Sherwood Forest begin at this point. It occurs as Cuningeswad 1155-65 … It is a purely Scandinavian compound, "king's ford". The ford carried the ancient road from Nottingham to Blyth across the Maun just after it had been joined by the Meden. The ford is now replaced by Conjure Alders Bridge. (1)
