The still thriving Robin Hood pub in Hove was certainly in business by 1866[1] and seems to have been established in (or by) 1846.[2] Situated on the old boundary between Brighton and Hove,[3] the pub now brands itself as a 'People's pub', distributing its profits to local community organisations.[4]
A list of publicans for 1866–1938 can be found at Pub History.[5] The pub is indicated as 'P.H.' on the early 25" O.S. maps listed below.
