The Robin Hood in Hitchin was situated on the north side of what is now Hollow Lane, at the west end of that street, near Queen Street. In existence by 1721,[1] it was demolished in 1922 as part of a slum clearance effort.[2]
The address of the pub was 2 St Andrew's Street.[3] On 25" O.S. maps based on revisions carried out in 1922 or earlier, the first 100 meters of the present Hollow Lane is labelled 'St. Andrew's St.', whereafter it becomes Hollow Lane. On 6" O.S. maps dating from 1950 or earlier, the stretch of the street labelled 'St. Andrew's St.' on the 25" maps is not named. At some point after 1922, the entire length of the street was named Hollow Lane. Information on publicans and residents for 1839–1901 can be found at the excellent Pub Wiki.[3] Template:PnItemQry
