The long gone Robin Hood Inn situated on the north side of Buxton Road, immediately west of Norbury Hollow Road, south of Stockport, was in existence by 1849.
The pub figures as 'Robin Hood Public House' in the 1849 tithe award for Norbury Moor. The then township of Norbury, with Norbury Moor, is now part of Hazel Grove. The landowner was a Thomas Legh, Esq., the occupier one Elizabeth Hyde. The property covered an area of 21 perches (531.15 m2).[1] A longish garden with an area of 30 perches (758.79 m2) extended westwards immediately north of – and behind – the neighbouring houses. Listed in the tithe award with the same occupier and landowner as the pub, this may well have been a pub garden rather than the private garden of the publican.[2]
Immediately east of the pub there was formerly a Robinhood Pool with a small island in it. A somewhat similar sitation is seen in Cherry Hinton, Cambridgeshire, where across the street from a public house named the Robin Hood we find Robin Hood Dip, which also contains a small island, the Giant's Grave. Unlike the latter, if the island in Robinhood Pool had a name, IRHB is not aware of it.
