Somewhere between Golden Lane and Goswell Road, then named Goswell Street, was a yard or cul-de-sac named Robin Hood Court in the mid-18th to early 19th century. It is listed in a few topographical handbooks of the period but apparently not included on any maps.
Robin Hood Court is included in a list of localities in the Compleat Compting House Companion (1763)[1] and the New Complete Guide (1783).[2] John Lockie in his Topography of London lists it as "Robinhood-Court, Bell-Alley, Golden-Lane,—the third on the R. from Golden-lane, towards Goswell-street". Bell-Alley led away from Golden Lane at a ninety-degree angle, then turned roughly north to run parallel to Golden Lane, then again turned ninety degrees towards Goswell Road. Somewhere along the route was Robin Hood Court. I have indicated a possible location on the detail of Richard Horwood's map of London (1792-99) below, but this is quite tentative.Template:PnItemQry
