Robin Hood Lane is not labelled on any of the O.S. maps listed below (see Maps section), but as several other streets in Helsby also lack labels we cannot conclude from this that the street name had not come into use at the time. There is also a [[Lower Robin Hood Lane (Helsby)|Lower Robin Hood Lane]] in Helsby.

Robin Hood Lane in Helsby.
Robin Hood Lane in Helsby / Google Earth Street View

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-21. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-06-04.

'Robin Hood Lane' is the name of what on any sensible view is not one but two or more properly three streets in Helsby. At least one of these streets and their collective name were in existence by 1861.

The longest segment of Robin Hood Lane connects Old Chester Road in the north with Chester Road in the south, looping east en route and turning back to cross itself and continue west to Chester Road where it meets up with Lower Robin Hood Lane. As if this was not peculiar enough, a short cul-de-sac leading north from the eastern loop is also named 'Robin Hood Lane'. On the north-eastern corner of the intersection of Chester Road, Robin Hood Lane and Lower Robin Hood Lane stood until recently the Robin Hood. The two lanes as well as three fields in the immediate vicinity that are also named after the outlaw all owe their names to the pub.

The lane(s) is/are not labelled on any of the O.S. maps listed below (see Maps section), but several other streets in Helsby also lack labels on the maps. "Robin Hood lane" figures already in the 1861 Census.[1] Template:PnItemQry
