The still existing Robin Hood pub on 257 St Helens Road, Aspull Common, Leigh, Lancashire, seems to be of early 20th or late 19th century date. It can be regarded as a successor to another pub of the same name which was situated a few tens of metres south of it and continued life as Robin Hood Farm after it ceased to function as a public house.
