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.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-02-28. Revised by … This film's premise is that "[f]ollowing the dark days of the Civil War the South faced a new enemy, the carpet-bagger. Using the cloak of politics to make a travesty of the Courts of Justice, they plundered a people beaten but unbowed, still eager to fight, unafraid to die for their vanquished land." Plot Gabby Hayes,.ak.a. the Night Rider is a Robin Hood-like character who stands up against Ambrose Ballard, a carpetbagger who is out to take over all of Purvis County. Harassed by Ballard and his men, the locals meet at night to form a self-defence committee. Ballard's men bust in, searching for the Night Rider. They get a tip that the Night Rider has gone to the mountains. At an inn in the mountains the captain of Ballard's men finds a man named Lance Corbin playing the banjo and singing, while the owner of the inn, Sam Starr, is having a bath. Corbin claims he has seen the Night Rider riding towards town. After a fruitless …9 KB (1,301 words) - 06:44, 17 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-22. Revised by … A Gest of Robyn Hode, fytte seven and part of fytte eight (sts. 354-432), details the meeting Robin Hood and "Edwarde, our comly kynge" Gest, st. 353:4.. The latter digsuises himself as an abbot and goes to the greenwood in order to meet with the outlaw. Reverberations of this scene can be found in many later accounts, including Walter Scott's Ivanhoe and many films. The author of the Gest – dare we suggest the poet John Skelton? This is suggested by, inter alia, a satirical allusion to John Skelton and jests of Robin Hood in Alexander Barclay's English rendering of the Ship of Fools. – followed an old and tried recipe when he let the king don disguise for the occasion, for there are many earlier tales, from Britain and elsewhere, about the meeting of a incognito king and one of his subjects.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-24. Revised by … This 1991 Warner Bros film staring Kevin Costner was the once-in-a-generation Robin Hood film of its time, a classic even if it did not quite reach the level of popularity of the 1922 film starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. or the 1938 film starring Erroll Flynn, but fewer films have done so in the post World War II period, for with so many new films constantly appearing, any one film is less likely to grab the attention of the daily media and keep it for more than a few days or perhaps weeks. Plot During the Third Crusade, Robin of Locksley escapes from prison in Jerusalem, promising his comrade Peter, who is killed during the escape, to protect his sister Marian. Robin returns to England with Azeem, a Moor whose life he has saved and who has sworn to repay his debt of gratitude. Robin returns to England to find that, in king Richard's absence, the country is ruled by the evil sheriff of Nottingham, his cousin Guy of Gisborne, …7 KB (1,152 words) - 06:44, 17 May 2022
- Short introduction We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not normally expect to find in a bibliography, but the bibliographical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-10-21. Revised by … The 1952 British film Miss Robin Hood has more Robin Hood-connections than just its title. One of its main characters writes an eponymous serial in a magazine named The Teenager, while one of his most avid fans is an elderly lady who runs an unofficial orphanage/thievery school, financed by activities of the sort depicted in the serial. When called upon, her wards turn out in force, armed with golf clubs, tennis rackets, billiard cues etc. On occasion she wears the kind of hat that is now universally recognized as a Robin Hood hat. Plot Henry Wrigley is asleep, dreaming about a woman and two girls – his daughters perhaps – burgling a stockbrokers, where they open a safe with a welder, intending to spend the loot on helping orphans, feeding pigeons and constructing playgrounds. In waking life he is the writer of "Miss Robin Hood", a serial published in a widely read magazine titled The Teenager. Wrigley is …17 KB (2,662 words) - 06:44, 17 May 2022

Revised by … James Woodford's Wikipedia: James Woodford. full-length Robin Hood statue with its two complementary bronze plaques, on the Castle Green, was a gift to Nottingham City from Philip E. F.

He began work on the sculture in 1950 or 1951. Cast in eight pieces of bronze, the sculpture stands on a two and a half ton block of white Clipsham stone. The stockily built archer was meant to be a realistic representation of a medieval Englishman but has often been criticized for not living up to (anachronistic) expectations inspired by portrayals of the outlaw …6 KB (756 words) - 22:05, 1 May 2021
- Loxley. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … The village of Loxley, now a suburb of Sheffield, is first mentioned (as "Lokkeslay") in 1329. There are references also to Loxley Firth, Loxley Plain and Loxley Chase etc.; the latter still survives. See for instance 6" map Yorkshire 288 (1855; surveyed 1850-51) and the maps listed in the Maps section below. The etymology of Loxley is "Locc's forest-glade". Locc was an Old English personal name well-attested in both place-names and on coins. This is the Loxley most generally believed to be the locality connected with Robin Hood. Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. 1, pp. 225, 226; pt. VII, p. 73. Smith notes simply that "[t]his Loxley is the one associated with the Robin Hood ballads". Smith. op. cit., pt. I, p. 225. Although there must have been local traditions connecting Robin Hood with Loxley by the late 16th century, only a few late ballads associate him with the area. The first known source to connect Robin Hood …5 KB (683 words) - 02:30, 31 May 2021

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-20. Revised by … This 1975 six part BBC television series, first aired in the UK from 23 November to 28 December 1975, is somewhat more realistic in tone, costumes, and décor than earlier productions. Several critics have found Martin Potter's Robin Hood dour, but then perhaps they prefer Hollywood style over-acting. It is, on the other hand, incontrovertible that David Dixon as Prince John has an uncanny similarity to Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees as he looked around the time this TV series was made. Plot Episode 1 Setting out on a crusade with Henry II, the Earl of Huntingdon leaves his infant son Robert with a foster father, John Hood, and a teacher/tutor, Father Ambrose. Years later young Robin sets out to London to claim his inheritance at Richard I's court. En route he saves Lady Marion Neston from being kidnapped while on her way to be married to the Norman lord Sir Guy of Gisborne.
