Site of Robin Hood Sidings.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-12-31. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-21.
Robin Hood Sidings in the village of Robin Hood, Wakefield, on the East and West Yorkshire Union Railway, are first recorded, as far as I know, on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1894. The railway was established in 1891 and extended a few years later. It closed in 1966.[1]
