Robin Hood Hill, near which Robin Hood Street Close must have been located.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-04. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-07-24.

'Robinhoodstreteclose' is mentioned in Wakefield Court Rolls for 1650. A. H. Smith treats this as the earliest reference to a locality which is referred to in 1657 and later as Robin Hood Hill,^[1] but it seems unlikely these two name could have applied to the same locality. They probably refer to distinct if adjacent localities.

For want of a better option, the coordinate indicated on the Google map and cited in the fact box is that of Robin Hood Hill.
