The Robin Hood, Norton.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-11-01. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-02-13.
The still thriving Robin Hood pub on the corner of Ford Green Road and Spragg House Lane in Norton, Stoke-on-Trent, was in existence by 1845.
In that year a newspaper reported that two colliers had misbehaved in the pub, being 'disguised in drink'.[1] The pub is included in all the early O.S. maps listed below.
