Revised by … The Robin Hood and Little John in West Street, Portsmouth, was in existence by 1784 and closed in 1894. The land on which it stood was leased to John Boyart for a thousand years in 1691, but the Robin Hood pub itself is first recorded in Sadler's Directory (1784). See King, Alan 2011a, p. 282 s.n. 'Robin Hood and Little John', and John Pomeroy below. In trade directories, censuses etc. the address is often given simply as West Street, but sometimes it is 1 or 2 West Street. In 1823 and 1828 it is given as Tower Street, a street that meets up with West Street at the southwest corner of the latter.

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.

- Robin Hood and Little Jack, Burtonwood By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-02-11. Revised by … In the mid-19th century, there was a public house named 'Robin Hood and Little Jack' on Broad Lane, about 60 meters NW of the junction of Broad and Forshaw's lanes, c. 600 m NW of Burtonwood. The pub is included on a 6" O.S. map published 1849, based on a survey carried out 1846. Judging by later maps the building had been demolished by 1891 or 1893 (see Maps below). The name is of course a play on the very common 'Robin Hood and Little John'. Perhaps the publican who decided upon this name had a son named Jack, perhaps he simply wanted an unusual name that would attract attention?

- Robin Hood Lane, where the Robin Hood and Little John was probably located. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-14. Revised by … The Robin Hood and Little John, also known as the Robinhood, was located somewhere in or quite close to Robin Hood Lane, Poplar. It is mentioned in summaries of cases at the Old Bailey in 1841 and 1876. From the report of the case in 1841 (see Records below) we can conclude only that the Robin Hood and Little John beer shop (pub) must have been located in or close to Poplar, but if we make the reasonable assumption that the pub was also known as 'the Robinhood', the 1876 case helps us place it in (the vicinity of) Robin Hood Lane, Poplar. A policeman near "the Robinhood, Poplar" sees a man – soon to become the victim of assault and robbery – walking by in the company of another and followed at a short distance by two more who will soon attack him.

- Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-28. Revised by … 'Robin Hood' is the name of a moorland top on the ridge between the upper reaches of Crookdale and Borrowdale. The earliest known record is an 1859 MS Ordnance Survey name book in which the locality is listed as 'Robin Hood Wood'. Smith, Albert Hugh 1967a, pt. II, p. 176. Dobson & Taylor (see Gazetteers section), citing Smith as source, mistakenly refer to an 1859 O.S. map. Smith's source reference reads ' OS ' (in italics), not 'OS'. Somewhat unusually, the county volumes of the English Place-Name Society use italics for inline source references to MSS, but ordinary type for those to printed sources. Thus 'OS' (without italics) refers to a printed Ordnance Survey map, but this italicized reference is to an MS Ordnance Survey name book, cf. Smith, pt. I, p. lxvi.

Revised by … Two large stones of mountain limestone on Hampsfield Allotment, immediately east of Heaning Wood, c. 1.3 km SE of Field Broughton, used to be known as 'Robin Hood and Little John'. Though their collective name seems to have gone out of use, the two large stones still exist.

The name is included in 6" and 25" O.S. maps published as late as c. 1947 and possibly later. James Stockdale noted in 1872 (see Allusions below) that they had "from time immemorial gone by the names of Robin Hood and Little John", but "[n]o reasons for these names are known".

- The Highway man, formerly Robin Hood and Little John. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-09-24. Revised by … 'Robin Hood and Little John' was the former name of a pub now named 'The Highway Man' in Walton Highway, West Walton, Norfolk, not far from the pre-1972 Cambridgeshire/Norfolk county boundary.

- Robin Hood's Butt. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-26. Revised by … Robin Hood's Butt in Askerton parish, Cumberland, is a turf-covered mound, c. 13 m in diameter and up to 1.9 m in height. The mound, with some stone debris, is what remains of a Roman signal station which stood on the west side of the Maiden Way, a Roman Road from Birdoswald (by Hadrian's Wall) to Bewcastle. The foundations of a nearly square tower can be seen at the top. Based on the amount of debris it has been suggested that it was about 6 m high. Its walls of regularly coursed c. 85 cm thick stones were 3.5 to 6 m. wide externally. When the station was active, there was a ditch or drainage channel round the building, with a little causeway over or through it on the east side. The stone for the tower was supplied by two small quarries only 50 m to the west. Pastscape: Robin Hood's Butt. Robin Hood's Butt is first mentioned in 1598 (see Record below).
