Approximate location of the Robin Hood.

The Robin Hood, 1 Bourne Road, Spalding / Google Earth Street View.

The first record of the Robin Hood Pub I have found is the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1888. It is indicated there as "Robin Hood Inn". On three maps published 1906-c. 1931, but based on sureveying done in 1903, it is indicated simply as "Inn". On subsequent maps this indication is lacking (see Maps section below), but one gets the impression from the regulars that the Robin Hood was in business throughout. Sadly as of November 2015 the pub's existence was threatened.
