  • Blue Stone Lane north of Hand Lane junction and south of Syd Brook Lane. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … A stretch of Blue Stone Lane in Mawdesley was known locally as 'Robinhood Lane' in the late 19th century and the early years of the 20th. Which lane It is not difficult to see what may have inspired the name. Along this stretch – less than 0.5 km – of road lay no less than four landscape features, artifacts or buildings named after Robin Hood: an inn, a well, a cottage, and a cross. The street name never became established in official nomenclature, but it is found in census Records from 1881 to 1901. Richard Langford in his excellent blog post on the Robin Hood Inn in Mawdesley states as fact, but without offering any arguments in support, that the name 'Robin Hood Lane' referred to the current Tincklers Lane.

  • The Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-10-16. Revised by … Robin Hood Lane is a footpath from St Michael's Hill (immediately north of No. 56) to Horfield Road in Bristol. The name would seem to be of 18th century date if not older. The earliest record so far found dates from 1824. Evans, John 1824a, pp. xxii, xxiii. 56 St Michael's Hill is the address of the Robin Hood, a pub which first appears in the Records in 1848 but cannot be older than 1841, at which time there was a carpenter's shop there. Before that the building was home to a grocer's shop. According to a website on lost pubs in Bristol – the source of the information just cited – "[t]he name [of the Robin Hood pub] is taken from Robin Hood Lane which runs down the side of the pub and was in existence long before this house became licensed". Bristol's Lost Pubs. While this is possible, it is hardly the whole story. Just after the still existing Robin Hood pub, the same website lists a public …

  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-24. Revised by … Information courtesy Tim Prevett. Tim produces, and is a consultant on, slow TV. According to a local tradition inspired by the ballad of Robin Hood's Birth, Breeding, Valor and Marriage, Robin Hood and Maid Marian were betrothed under the ample branches of an old, large and still living yew tree in the churchyard in Doveridge. This famous tree, now supported by props and chains, is widely believed to be at least a thousand years old, but since its heartwood has seriously decayed, it is difficult to determine its age. Geograph: SK1134:: The Doveridge Yew – Trunk. While there may well be earlier Records of this, the earliest source known to IRHB to connect the yew with Robin Hood is a pamphlet on the history of the church of St Cuthbert and its churchyard published in 1986. Middleton, Jane 1986a. Not seen, but cf. Ancient Yew Group: Doveridge, St Cuthbert's, Diocese of Derby, SK11383410. In Robin Hood's Birth, …

  • 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.
