Here Robin Hood's Chair is hewn out in the rock. The Larches and Poplars uplift their proud heads. But O what sweet melodies sound in the wood. The old Druid's Pulpit is seen in the Glen, And the Writing Desk too, if tradition be true. From Bingley and Bradford, and Leeds they resort— Some have breathed the foul gas in the mill.

He further notes that it is also sometimes known as Robin Hood's Seat and, perhaps less helpfully, that it is located 'about halfway down Shipley Glen'. Old Elmet Dreaming: My Folkloric Influences.
