The Robin Hood Tavern.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-16.
First mentioned in 1794 when the publican was a Charles Turner, this pub was apparently first located at a place called Robin Hood Hill but moved to its final location by the side of the river Lee sometime during the 19th century. In 1851 its name was Ferry House, but the Robin Hood name can be traced at least as far back as 1905, when its sign appears on a postcard. In the 19th century, the pub had its own fishery and the publican also operated the Robin Hood Ferry across the Lea. The pub closed and its precincts were demolished in 2001.
