The Robin Hood at 12 New Street, the Barbican, Plymouth, already seems to have had a long if largely unrecorded (or undiscovered) history when it closed as a public house in 1931 to continue or be revived as the Robin Hood Club, a night club.
The grade II listed 12 New Street is a beautiful 16th century building in Plymouth's oldest street.[1] According to Plymouth local historian Chris Robinson, the Robin Hood was 'an even older establishment' than the Robin Hood and Little John at Prince Rock, which was in existence by the mid-19th century.[2] The Robin Hood nightclub gave way to Shirley Valentine's Taverna in about 2009.[3] Template:PnItemQry
