- 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 (£).

- Robin Hood Avenue. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-19. Revised by … Very likely the name of this street in the south of Macclesfield, a little west of Sutton, was inspired by the presence, at least as late as 1938, of (what was probably) a farmstead named 'Robinhood' in the immediate vicinity.

- The public house formerly known as the Robin Hood; now the Robin. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-06-26. Revised by … On Chapman & André's 1777 map of Essex (see Maps section and detail of map below), the Robin Hood, a public house, is indicated just north of Brentwood by the side of a road now named Ongar Road. There was an advertisement for the pub in the Chelmsford Chronicle for 20 Jan. Christy, Miller 1887a, p. 138. On a 6" O.S. map of the area based on surveying carried out in 1866, the pub is indicated as "Robin Hood", while on an O.S. 6" map based on surveying done in 1895 the pub appears as "Robin Hood & Little John" (see Maps section below). That was also the form of the name displayed on its sign in 1887 according to Miller Christy. The pub is still there but is now named the Robin (the feathered kind). In the meantime it has bequeathed its former name to adjacent Robin Hood Road. Information on publicans gleaned from trade directories etc. from the period …4 KB (560 words) - 16:31, 3 May 2022

- 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

- Lower Robin Hood Lane in Helsby. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-21. Revised by … Lower Robin Hood Lane runs west from Chester Road in Helsby. 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. These lanes, like three fields in the immediate vicinity, all owe or owed their names to the Robin Hood pub, which until recently stood at about the centre of this area with Robin Hood-themed field and street names.

- Robin Hood Lane in Helsby. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-21. Revised by … 'Robin Hood Lane' is the name of what on any sensible view is not one but two or more properly three streets in Helsby. At least one of these streets and their collective name were in existence by 1861. The longest segment of Robin Hood Lane connects Old Chester Road in the north with Chester Road in the south, looping east en route and turning back to cross itself and continue west to Chester Road where it meets up with Lower Robin Hood Lane. As if this was not peculiar enough, a short cul-de-sac leading north from the eastern loop is also named 'Robin Hood Lane'. On the north-eastern corner of the intersection of Chester Road, Robin Hood Lane and Lower Robin Hood Lane stood until recently the Robin Hood. The two lanes as well as three fields in the immediate vicinity that are also named after the outlaw all owe their names to the pub.
