The long gone Robin Hood on Union Street in Birstall probably existed by 1871. According to census entries there was a beer house there at that time, but it is only referred to as the Robin Hood in the 1891 census. Information on publicans etc. for the years 1871-91 can be found at UK Pub History.[1]Template:PnItemQry
