Robin Hood Parking.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-10-21. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-07.
For some reason not easily surmised a parking lot on Tawney Street in Boston, Lincolnshire, is named after Europe's perennially most famous outlaw. The name would perhaps begin to make a little sense if parking there was free, but that would be unusual nowadays.
