-Within the civil parish of Chapel St Leonards in the east Lindsey District of Lincolnshire, immediately south of the village of Chapel St Leonards itself, lie several caravan holiday parks, one of which used to be the Robin Hood Camp. Now trading as Golden Palm Park, it lies less than 500 m from the sea.
+On the south side of the entrance to the [[Robin Hood Camp (Chapel St Leonards)|Robin Hood Camp]] &ndash; now the Golden Palm Resort &ndash; in Chapel St leonards was a Friar Tuck Shop from at least the 1950s to 1970s.
-Robin Hood seems to have morphed into a Golden Palm by 2006.<ref>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/markaich/3948799536 Flickr: Golden Palm Arcades, Chapel St Leonards;] see third comment by David Birtles.</ref> While the latter straddles South Road, Robin Hood Camp was located on the east side of it (compare the second and fourth photo in the image gallery below). The first image in the gallery shows a used postcard which a vendor dated 1958. For want of more precise data this will have to serve a the date of first record. While 'Robin Hood Camp' is no longer the official name of the resort, the Robin Hood-themed name is still in use.<ref>See for instance [https://www.ukcaravanrental.co.uk/listing/caravan-for-hire-at-robin-hood-golden-palm-leisure-park/ UK Caravan Rental: Caravan for hire at Robin Hood (Golden Palm) Leisure Park] (2015).</ref> For statistrical purposes the name is therefore (reluctantly) considered extant.
+The shop can be seen on the postcards from 1958 and the 1970s shown in the image gallery below.
