  • Approximate indication of the site of the Robin Hood Arms. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-11-24. Revised by … The Robin Hood Arms, formerly the Lord Belper Inn, was situated at or near the present 49 Beacon Hill Rise. The pub is first recorded in 1941. At that time, Beacon Hill Rise was named Robin Hood Street.

By 1915 the two had been connected as 'Lamartine Street'. This street continued east a few tens of metres past Beacon Hill Rise (then Robin Hood Street) as had 'East Lamartine Street'.

  • Thornton By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-06. Revised by … Robin Hood was a field name in the township of Thornton according to an 1850 MS Tithe Award See Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. III, p. 274. I have not found it on O.S. 6" maps of the area from the 1890's.

  • Robin Hood Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-10. Revised by … This well is referred to in a 1773 MS source as "Robin Hoods Well". Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. I, pp. 251-52. Dobson & Taylor, Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 311. who provide the coordinates for this locality, note that the well is "[p]ossibly associated with Robin Hood's Bower and Moss ". This is due to a misunderstanding of their source, A. H. Smith, who actually does not suggest that there is any connection between these localities beyond the fact that they are named after Robin Hood. Smith, op. cit. in discussing the Moss and Bower makes a few brief remarks concerning Robin Hood place-names in general. In his notices of other Robin Hood-related place-names he often refers to these general remarks, which are thus made to serve, as it were, as an introduction to the topic of Robin Hood-related place-names. See Smith, pt. I, pp. 251-52, and for instance pt. I, p. 226; pt. VII, p. 73. Gazetteers …
