- The site of Robin Hood Green. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-17. Revised by … Located in Lostock Gralam, Robin Hood Green is first recorded on Andrew Bryant's 1831 Map of Cheshire. Bryant, A, Map of Cheshire (1831) (Cheshire Local History Association: 16th - 19th Century maps of Cheshire). According to DODGSON, JOHN MCNEAL 1970A, vol. I, p. xxv, incorrectly cites Bryant's first name initial as W. DODGSON lists this place-name under 'Lostock Green', probably regarding it as another name for that hamlet, DODGSON, op.cit., vol. II, p. 190, but Bryant's map has it immediately west of Lostock Gralam, whereas Lostock Green is located c. 1 km south of Lostock Gralam. The two Greens can thus hardly be identical, unless Bryant's map has Robin Hood Green in the wrong place. The place-name would seem to be defunct, for as of January 2017 we found no mention of it on the Web. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

- The site of Robinhood Farm. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-17. Revised by … Robinhood Farm was located on Birches Lane in Lostock Green, a hamlet in Lostock Gralam, situated about 1 km south of the main town of the parish. The name is found on a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1882, based on a survey carried out 1874-77. This is the earliest occurrence found so far. The English Place-Name Society's volume on this part of Cheshire lists Robinhood Farm without source reference or date, DODGSON, JOHN MCNEAL 1970A, vol.

- The site of Robin Hood's Cottage. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-20. Revised by … J. M. DODGSON in the second English Place-Name Society volume on Cheshire notes a "Robin Hood's Cottage " in Nether Knutsford, one of the four wards of Knutsford. DODGSON, JOHN MCNEAL 1970A, vol. II, p. 75; also see vol. V, pt. 1:ii, p. 401. He does not cite a source or date, which probably indicates a recent place-name and suggests that his source may have been an O.S. map. The place-name is listed on a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1882, based on surveying done in 1872-76. It is included on later revisions at least as late as 1947. The way the label is positioned on the maps makes it impossible to say with certainty what locality the name referred to. It may have been a house at the NE end of Malt Street or, alternatively, some feature on the area immediately east of there known as the Moor, though nothing suitable is indicated on the map.

- The former (?) Robin Hood Field. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-21. Revised by … Robin Hood Field in Helsby is first recorded in 1844. It was named after the Robin Hood pub which was until recently located on its south-western corner, the intersection of Chester Road and Lower Robin Hood Lane.

The field name occurs in the tithe award for Agden in the parish of Rostherne (1848).

- The site of Robinhood Pool. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-19. Revised by … The Robinhood Pool was located immediately east of the Robin Hood Inn in Hazel Grove, south of Stockport. The earliest known reference to the name 'Robinhood Pool' is an O.S. map from 1881. The pool figures as 'Pond' tout court in the 1849 tithe award for Norbury Moor. The then township of Norbury, with Norbury Moor, is now part of Hazel Grove. The landowner was Thomas Legh, Esq., the occupiers Clayton & Brooke. The property covered an area of 2 roods and 25 perches ( m 2 ). 1849 tithe award for the 'Township of Norbury in the Parish of Stockport' [actually Norbury Moor], online at the Genealogist, Piece 05, sub-piece 297, Image 008, #269 (£); accompanying map, online at the Genealogist, Piece 05, sub-piece 297, Sub-Image 001, #269 (£).

- (The former?) Plumpton Park. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-18. Revised by … In the Gest, King Edward is exasperated at noticing the scarcity of deer in Plumpton Park after Robin and his men have been poaching there during their stay with the knight. We should almost certainly take this to be in Lancashire, but it could just possibly be some place King Edward is meant to have visited after his progress in Lancashire. As Cheshire is a neighbouring county it is conceivable that a Plumpton Park in that county may have been intended. J. M. DODGSON in the English Place-Name Society's third volume on Chester, notes a 'Plumpton Park' near Shrewbridge House, DODGSON, JOHN MCNEAL 1970A, vol. III, p. 132. slightly south of Nantwich.

- 'Little Robin Hood Hay' was the name of a close covering an area now straddling the M56. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-02-27. Revised by … Superimposed on a modern map, Little Robin Hood Hay in Agden, in the parish of Rostherne, Cheshire, would be seen to straddle the M56 about 100 to 200 metres (or more) West of the Reddy Lane underpass. The field name occurs in the 1848 tithe award for Agden. 'Little Robin Hood Hay' is listed there with Sir JOHN Newdigate-Ludford-Chetwode, Baronet, as owner, Thomas Cross as occcupier, 'Arable' as state of cultivation, and an area of 2 acres, 5 roods and 17 perches ( m 2 ). 1848 tithe award for the township of Agden in the parish of Rostherne, online at the Genealogist, Piece 05, sub-piece 006, Image 004, #60 (£); accompanying map, online at the Genealogist, Piece 05, sub-piece 006, Sub-Image 001, #60 (£).

- Robin Hood Avenue. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-19.

The name may is most probably of 19th or 20th century origin. The lane is not labelled on any of the O.S. maps listed below (see Maps section), but as several other streets in Helsby also lack labels we cannot conclude from this that the street name had not come into use at the time. The element 'lower' serves to distinguish this street Robin Hood Lane tout court.

I do not know when Sherwood Road was established, but it is not included on any of the O.S. maps listed below, the latest of which was based on surveying done in 1938 (see Maps section).
