Judging from Google aerial photos taken in 2020, the grounds of Nottingham Castle have been turned into a building site, and the Robin Hood topiary that sat somewhere near the gatehouse seems to have vanished. Will it return when the renovation project is finished? While the topiary may be a few decades older than this, the earliest evidence IRHB currently has dates from 2004.[1] Template:PlaceNamesItemQuery
