The Robin Hood on 40 Townwall Street in Dover was in business by 1840 and until early in WWII, when it was so heavily damaged during a German bombing raid that it never reopened. The building was demolished in 1957.
The pub was situated on a corner – evidently the eastern – of Townwall Street and Mill Lane. Over the years, the address was usually given as 40 Townwall Street, but 41 Townwall Street (1874), Mill Lane (1874), and St James Lane (1847,[1] 1862[2]) also occur. Mill Lane would have been the lane running north from Townwall Street immediately east of the building in which the pub was situated. Template:PnItemQry
