A plaque on the front of the now defunct Robin Hood pub in Hopewell Street, Gloucester, gives its name as 'Ye Olde Robin Hood Inn', and the lintel carries the date 1908.
It is not clear when the pub closed, but this seems to have happened fairly recently. The Pub Wiki lists publican information for the year 1939 only.[1]
