Approximate location of Little John Street. It no longer exists but ran almost parallel to St. Anne's Well Road and ended just a few yards south-west of the still existing Robin Hood's Chase.

Little John Street was a short street running almost parallel to St. Anne's Well Road a few meters from that road and ending just a few meters from the entrance to Robin Hood's Chase. Currently my earliest source for this place-name is a 6" O.S. map of Nottingham published in 1885 and surveyed in 1880-81.[1]
