- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-28. Revised by … The Robin Hood Panto was one of the shows offered at the Brighton Aquarium according to the first of the picture postcards below. The card is undated, but one specimen is postmarked Oct. 18, 1906. Designed by acclaimed architect and pier builder Eugenius Birch (1818-84), the Brighton Aquarium opened in august 1872. Apart from the aquarium, the complex contained a reading room, restaurant and conservatory. In a couple of years a roof terrace garden, roller skating rink, smoking room and music conservatory had been added. During the 1890's the establishment hosted events such as organ recitals, lectures, concerts and plays. But there was also a good deal of light entertainment, for the acts booked during the period c. 1873-88 included comedians, singers, minstrels, magicians, acrobats, clowns, ventriloquists, puppeteers, living statuary, animal acts, swimmers, and skaters.

- Approximate indication of the site of the Robin Hood Inn. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-05-02. Revised by … According to Roy Pledger, the long gone Robin Hood Inn in Barnsdale "once [...] displayed a three pint leather bottle, said to have belonged to Robin Hood." See his comments to his excellent photo of Robin Hood's Well (Barnsdale) at Panoramio. I have not come across any mention of this priceless object elsewhere, and Mr Pledger does not cite any source, but a three pint leather bottle does seem a fitting relic for a leader of merry men. However, the collection of Robin Hood paraphernalia at the restaurant connected with Robin Hood's Well in Nottingham is also said to have included a Robin Hood's bottle. Bob White.

Revised by … Based on information kindly provided by Linda Hardy, Marketing & Events Officer at The Sherwood Forest Trust. A bow which reputedly belonged to Robin Hood hangs over a fireplace at Renishaw Hall.

- West to east: Salford Museum and Art Gallery, and Chetham's Library. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-03-02. Revised by … Until the mid-19th century, Chetham's Library included a veritable cabinet of curiosities, among whose highlights – as they must seem to us – were several 'arrows [that] once belonged to Robin Hood'. Some time before 1866 most of this assortment of knick knack was gifted to Salford Museum and Art Gallery, which opened in 1850. See 1827 - Gregson, J S - Museum Chethamiense. This new cultural institution cannot have been too happy with its mass-acquisition, for the collection was further disbanded, and the present whereabouts of many objects are unknown.

- The site of Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-05-01. Revised by … Robin Hood's Arrows were among the items in a little collection of alleged Robin Hood relics kept at the gamekeeper's lodge, a "victualling house" or restaurant at Robin Hood's Well a.k.a. St Ann's Well in the north-eastern neighbourhood of Nottingham now known as St Ann. The well and the gamekeeper's house played an important role in Nottingham civic life over the centuries. During some fifty years, from the late 1570's on, there was an annual procession of the Mayor and members of the civic administration, in official liveries and accompanied by musicians, to the well for a festive dinner in or outside the gamekeeper's house. Since the participation of the town fathers was mandatory, this in effect amounted to civic sponsorship of the establishment. However, during the 18th and 19th centuries the "victualling house" seems to have slowly declined in terms of prestige and the social composition of …4 KB (543 words) - 00:51, 6 January 2021
