- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-08. Revised by … Together with the Gest of Robyn Hode and Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (1820), Howard Pyle's Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (1883) is arguably the most influential of all works of Robin Hood fiction. Inspired by renaissance traditions, directly or perhaps more likely indirectly through Scott's Ivanhoe, Pyle chose to locate the life of Robin Hood during the reign of Richard I (1189-99) rather than that of "our comely King Edward" as in the Gest, but apart from this the book follows the ballads quite closely in terms of plot and incidents. Pyle is far from the first writer to avail himself of the fact that the ballads, done into prose and arranged in proper sequence, provide a 'life of Robin Hood'. In fact the earliest English children's books on Robin Hood tended to be such prose renderings of the ballads. What distinguishes Pyle's book is especially the nostalgic tone, evident also in the author's masterly drawings. Translations …4 KB (512 words) - 15:39, 7 January 2021
- Robin Hood's Caves. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-13. Revised by … Robin Hood's Cave is located at the eastern perimeter of Rock Cemetery in Nottingham, immediately west of Mansfield Road (A60). In the mid-19th century, as the area was being cleared and excavated to establish the cemetery, local clergyman George Oliver – in this very much a child of his time – was convinced that several of the caves found there, including Robin Hood's Cave, were part of an ancient druid temple. Nottingham Hidden History Team: Rev. George Oliver and Nottingham’s Druid Temple by Frank E. Earp. Reality has a habit of being prosaic. The caves were in fact a by-product of mining, during the 18th century and earlier, for sandstone which was ground to yield sand. Waltham, Tony 1994a. Until the cemetery was created, the area where Robin Hood's Cave is located was known as the Ropewalk as rope was made here (see Thomas Moore's painting reproduced below).

- The original site of the Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-11. Revised by … The pub now at 125 Barton Road, Stretford, Manchester, was originally situated on the north-western corner of the junction whose south-western corner it now occupies. For the current pub, see Robin Hood (Stretford, Manchester) (2). Evidently the inn only became the Robin Hood at (probably) some point in the 19th century, for H. T. Crofton noted in 1903 that "[t]he Robin Hood Inn is the modern name for the old Waggon and Horses, and stood on the west side of Butt Lane, which leads from King Street or Urmston Lane towards Derbyshire Lane". Crofton, H T 1899a, vol. III (1903), p. 10. The O.S. maps (see below) tell us that Butt Lane has now, as it were, had its name bowdlerized to 'Park Road'. A citizen born c. 1816 remembered that "[i]n the roadway at Four Lane Ends, opposite the Waggon and Horses, which was afterwards the Robin Hood, there was an iron ring fixed for bear baiting".

- The Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … The Robin Hood at 125 Barton Road, at the junction of Urmston Lane/Barton Road, in Stretford, Manchester has been at its present location since the late 19th century. In 1903, H. T. Crofton noted that "[t]he Robin Hood Inn [...] stood on the west side of Butt Lane, which leads from King Street or Urmston Lane towards Derbyshire Lane". Crofton, H T 1899a, vol. III (1903), p. 10. Butt Lane is now Park Road. An old photographic postcard (see image gallery below) shows "Urmston Lane (Opposite Robin Hood Hotel) – 1898" Anonymous 19xxzl . It depicts a scene of what is still essentially village life, and one would like to think that this short row of lovely old houses stood opposite the old pub building (also shown below), but it seems the pub had already moved to its present suburban genteel precincts by 1898.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-11-13. Revised by … The three US editions of this were issued in a total of 23 printings in the period 1942-71. The script for the first edition was written by Evelyn Goodman; the front cover interior was pencilled by Louis Zansky; it was inked by Fred Eng. Twelve printings of this edition were issued, six while the series title was Classic Comics, and six under the new series title Classics Illustrated (from March 1947). All printings of this first edition had a drawn front cover, while all printings of later editions had painted covers. The second edition (Nov. 1955) had the same contents as the first edition, but with a painted cover by Victor Prezio. Only this one printing of the second edition was issued, but Prezio's cover was retained in the third edition (Jan. 1957), which was illustrated by Jack Sparling and had a script by an unknown writer.

He began work on the sculture in 1950 or 1951. Cast in eight pieces of bronze, the sculpture stands on a two and a half ton block of white Clipsham stone.

- Robin Hood Chase, a path in Nottingham. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-05-24. Revised by …; includes information and materials kindly provided by Stuart Timms. Robin Hood Chase, formerly known as 'Robin Hood's Chase', is a path, formerly a street, in Nottingham connecting Woodborough Road in the north-west and St Anne's Well Road in the south-east. The earliest record of the street name known to IRHB dates from 1883. Until recently the earliest cartographical source on record at IRHB for this place-name was a 6" O.S. map of Nottingham published in 1885 and surveyed in 1880-81. 6" O.S. map Nottinghamshire XLII.NW (incl. Nottingham; West Bridgford) (1885, surveyed 1880-81) ]. Since last-minute revisions to maps are at least a theoretical possibility, IRHB always follows the practice of dating maps by their date of publication rather than that of the survey on which they are based.

- Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-10-16. Revised by … This well is situated on Moor Road about midway between Helmshore and Stubbins. John Crawshaw has recently described it as follows: The spring issues out from beneath a large, worn stone capping: shaped rather like a flattened pyramid with a blunt apex. This is set against a dry-stone wall by the side of Stake Lane. The water falls from the well-head into a small pool and the whole arrangement of stones has the appearance of great age. The flattened-pyramid-shaped piece of sandstone covering the well has several worn, carved indentations upon it, one of which, near the left-hand side at the front is a wide groove. It is possible that this was made by the wearing down of the stone by a chain securing a drinking cup at its end. However, no trace of any chain or cup can now be discerned.

- Robin Hood's Grave. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-06. Revised by … Situated in a wooded spot within Kirklees Park, c. 650 m. SW of Kirklees Priory gatehouse, in the grounds of the long gone Kirklees Priory, this is one of the most well known and important localities connected with Robin Hood. As noted under Kirklees Priory, traditions connecting Robin Hood with the priory go back at least to the late 15th century. It is possible that there was originally at Kirklees a grave in which a person named Robert Hood (or similar) was buried. If this was the case, the belief that this was the grave of the famous outlaw may have originated as an etiological myth, a myth of origins See Wikipedia: Myth of origins. . It does not seem anybody was ever buried under the existing monument, but it is likely the original grave was located elsewhere within the priory grounds.

- Site of The Robin Hood Hotel; 126 Clifford Street, Chorley. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-02-22. Revised by … The Robin Hood Hotel at 126 Clifford Street in Chorley existed under that name by 1875. It closed and its premises were demolished c. 1989. The Robin Hood Hotel is said to date back to the 1860's when Clifford Street was developed. However, the first notice with a certain date is in a newspaper article from 23 Aug. 1876. Anonymous 1876a; cf. Chorley's Inns and Taverns: Robin Hood Hotel by Richard Langford. At the rear of the hotel was an added attraction in the form a large bowling green.

- Robin Hood's Stone. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-09-07. Revised by … Robin Hood's Stone is a large rock situated on the hillside just east of Holden Lane about halfway between West Norton and Silsden. According to local legend the stone was named after the outlaw because he hid beneath the rock when pursued. Just 300 m to the NE lies Robin Hood Wood, now reduced to two small stands of trees. Robin Hood's Stone apparently also has been known as Robin Hood's Chair and Robin Hood's Seat (see 1891 allusions cited below). A moving tale According to an official publication of the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (2014), the contractors had to remove this stone as it was in the way when the Barden to Bradford aqueduct was built c. 1858. The rock was split, but in response to a public outcry from locals a large section of the stone was moved to its present position. City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council 2010a.
