- The site of Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-20. Revised by … In Little Budworth, Cheshire, at the north end of the area encompassed by Coach Road, White Hall Lane and Beech Road, is or was a Robin Hood's Well (see maps listed below). Dodgson in the English Place-Name Society's third volume on Chester lists the locality without providing any source, which usually indicates a modern date. Dodgson, John McNeal 1970a, vol. III, p. 186; also see vol. V, pt. 1:ii, p. 401. The earliest record I have found is a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1881, based on surveying done in 1874. In view of the lack of references on the web, it seems most likely that this place-name is Defunct. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

- 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 the Robin Hood and Little John. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-01. Revised by … The long Defunct 'Robin Hood and Little John' on the present Vicarage Road in Whaddon near Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, was in business by 1877. A trade directory entry shows that it still existed in 1903 See Pub History: Robin Hood, Whaddon, Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, which provides a list of publicans for 1877-1903., and it is found on the earliest of the O.S. maps listed below, based on surveying and revision done no later than 1898, but by 1923 when the map again revised, the pub no longer existed. The maps suggest that all or part of the building had been demolished by then. If any of the two houses in the foreground in the photo below formed part of the pub, this would have been the one with the red car in front.

- The former Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-21. Revised by … The Robin Hood at 44 Vineyard in Abingdon existed from 1796 or earlier to 1910 or slightly later. Information on publicans and residents culled from censuses and trade directories dating from 1796 to 1907 can be found at Pub History. Pub Wiki: Robin Hood, 44 Vineyard, Abingdon, Berkshire. Changes to street numbering can make it difficult to determine the exact location of a long Defunct pub, but very likely the building in the photo below was in fact the Robin Hood. Early 25" O.S. maps, including that published in 1912, based on a revision carried out in 1910, indicate three public houses on Vineyard. On later maps the 'P.H.' label is gone from one; this must have been the Robin Hood. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

- The site of Robinhood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-18. Revised by … A cluster of three buildings, probably a farmstead, immediately east of London Road (A523), in Sutton, south of central Macclesfield, is labelled 'Robinhood' on O.S. maps from 1842 on. Dodgson, John McNeal 1970a, vol. I, p. 123. And see Maps section on this page. As far as I can see, Dodgson, in the first English Place-name Society volume on Cheshire lists this locality under both Macclesfield and Sutton. Under the latter he notes that "Moss End or Robin Hood" is thus labelled on Bryant's 1831 map of Cheshire. Unfortunately the only version of this map available online is in such low resolution that I have not been able to locate 'Moss End or Robin Hood" on it (see Maps section below), Dodgson, op. cit., vol. I, pp. 123, 155. but it seems likely that the element 'moss' refers to Danes Moss, near which the Robinhood listed under Macclesfield is located, so we are probably here concerned with duplicate …4 KB (503 words) - 00:43, 6 January 2021
