This pub opened in 1822 and was located at 74 Duke Street at least until 1837, but by 1839 it had moved to No. 86. It figures as Robin Hood & Little John in 1833. Some forty trade directory entries from the period 1822 to 1951 are known.[1] Information on publicans for the years 1833 to 1919 can be found at Pub History.[2] Since house numbering was sometimes changed, it is uncertain if the change from 74 to 86 Duke Street meant a real physical change of premises.
