Robin Hood's Walk.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-09. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
Described in 1856 as a "narrow winding lane, which was formerly the bed of the Scire-beck" (see 1856 Allusion), Robin Hood's Walk is now a meandering residential street in Boston. First recorded in 1640, this street name has more recently, one assumes, inspired a cluster of Robin Hood-related street names in the immediate vicinity: Friar Way, Greenwood Drive, Locksley Close, Marian Road, Sheriff Way and Sherwood Avenue.
