Also, if they are limiting whatb they drink due to having to drive home,
stringer beer or a double instead of as single might put them over the
limit, and spiked drinks are not accepted as a reason to let you off in

Wiki seems to think its in Whitwell Wood.

"A Three Shires Oak once stood in a field beside Whitwell Wood,
traditionally marking the meeting point of the counties of Derbyshire,
Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire; a younger oak has been planted further
from the wood close to the new meeting point of the counties."

That's about where the county borders meet now. Village legend has it
that the spot was remapped at some stage, and the location moved from
Shireoaks. Also the woods could well have been within Shireoaks Hall
land originally.

But the name gives it away shirley?

Also see:

Just been unforgetted that the pub at Shireoaks Hall is called The
Hewett Arms.
