The Robin Hood Tavern.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-10-11.
First mentioned in 1794 (see Records below), the Robin Hood Tavern at High Hill Ferry, Upper Clapton, closed – and its precincts were demolished – in 2001. An 1851 trade directory and the 1861 census list it as the Ferry House. In the 19th century, the pub had its own fishery and the publican also operated the Robin Hood Ferry across the Lea.[1] Information on publicans from the period 1794–1944 culled from Proceedings of the Old Bailey, trade and Post Office directories, census records etc. can be found at UK Pub History.[2]
According to the latter website, the pub was "[o]riginally at Robin Hood Hill, then at High Hill Ferry, Upper Clapton by 1896".[3] No source is cited for this, and it must be noted that right from the first reference in the Proceedings of the Old Bailey (1794) – which is also the earliest known to UK Pub Hisory – the pub was located at High Hill Ferry. Unless "Robin Hood Hill" is simply a mistake, it may have been an alternative name for High Hill Ferry, but I have seen no record evidence for this.
The area where the pub stood now forms part of the Robin Hood Community Garden.Template:PnItemQry
