The Robin Hood on the road named 'Durley Street' in the village named 'Durley Street' was in existence by 1871, when it was included, as "Robin Hood & Little John", on a 6" O.S. map of the area. Two later 6" O.S. maps omit the pub's name, indicating only "Inn". UK Pub History lists publican information for the year 1927 only.[1]
