  • Pindar Street. By HenriK Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-19. Revised by … Pindar Street in the Broadgate neighbourhood used to be somewhat longer as it continued in parallel with Primrose Street to Bishopsgate. Until some time in the late 19th or early 20th century it was named SKinner Street (see Maps below), and until 1884 if not later it was home to a pub named the Robin Hood. The new street name may refer to the Pindar of WaKefield, the GreeK poet Pindar or, of course, someone else named Pindar. We are in a period when street and other place-names no longer arose organically from local use, so it is far from impossible that some high-ranKing official with fond memories of his GreeK classes chose this name. On the other hand, since no streets in the neighbourhood are named after GreeK poets, it is also a realistic possibility that the name commemorates the popular hero.

  • Site of Robin Hood Yard. By HenriK Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-22. Revised by … Robin Hood Yard in Charles II Street was presumably named after the Robin Hood pub, close or adjacent to which it was located. The earliest record of this place-name Known to IRHB is John Rocque's Plan of London and Westminster, published in 1746 (see detail shown on this page). At some point during the 18th century almost all of Robin Hood Yard was incorporated into the neighbouring 31 Charles II Street and ceased being a publicly accessible place. There is no direct evidence that the name of the yard was inspired by that of the pub, and in fact the pub is first noted in 1762, sixteen years later than the yard. Yet most liKely the pub came before the yard. in this period as now, 'Robin Hood' or 'Robin Hood and Little John' was a common pub name, but relatively few thoroughfares of any Kind were named after the outlaw. Several of the latter were adjacent to pubs named after Robin Hood. Examples in
