According to a local researcher there was formerly a pub named the Robin Hood on Church Street, just north of the Tib Street/Church Street junction, in Manchester. It was adjacent to a row of warehouses that were demolished 'years ago' (as of 2010) when a large car park was established there.[1]
The pub is not included on any of the O.S. maps listed below, but there is nothing remarkable about this as early O.S. maps tend to include relatively little detail on businesses in urban areas.
