The Robin Hood Inn, 51 King Street, Penrith
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-02-06. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-02-06.
Dating back to the 18th century, the Robin Hood Inn in Penrith is located at 51 King Street.
As can be seen in one of the photos included below, the pub offers 'Quality Libations & Merriment since the 18th Century', so presumably it was established sometime in the 1700s. Can anybody tell us which year?
