Bizarre Doncaster Photo's

Robin Hood's Well is situated on the Old North Road, about midway between Ferrybridge and Doncaster, and also on the line of the great Roman Road from Lincoln to York. There is no authentic account of the well ever having been frequented by the famous individual from whom it takes its name. It was not, however, improbable that Robin Hood and his party of freebooters may have occasionally refreshed themselves at this spring, and thus have given it the immortality of his name.
