Robin Hood Bridge.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-12-31. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
The earliest record of Robin Hood Bridge in Robin Hood, Wakefield, that I have found so far is the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1854. It is also indicated on all revisions of the map published during the first half of the 19th century (see Maps section below). It takes Leeds Road over the West Beck.
