Robin Hood Junction in the village of Robin Hood, Wakefield, on the East and West Yorkshire Union Railway, is first recorded, as far as I know, on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1908. The railway was established in 1891 and extended a few years later. It closed in 1966.<ref>[http://www.lner.info/co/EWYUR/history.php The London & North Eastern Railway Encyclopedia: Brief History of the EWYUR.]</ref> As seen in the photo below the tarcks have now been replaced by a nice footpath.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-12-31. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-06-08.

Robin Hood Junction in the village of Robin Hood, Wakefield, on the East and West Yorkshire Union Railway, is first recorded, as far as I know, on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1908. The railway was established in 1891 and extended a few years later. It closed in 1966.[1] As seen in the photo below, the tracks have now been replaced by a nice footpath. Template:PnItemQry
