The former Robin Hood.

The Robin Hood is now a Chinese restaurant / Google Earth Street View.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-27. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-07.

The Robin Hood at 39 Bristol Road in Gloucester first appears in the records in 1870. It closed in 2008, when it licence was revoked.

Information on publicans etc. for 1870 to 1939 can be found at Pub Wiki. In 1927 the pub's address was listed as 43 Bristol Road, which is most likely a mistake. The building at 39 Bristol Road now houses Hing's, a Chinese restaurant. The Robin Hood is included on the 25" O.S. maps listed below with the abbreviation 'P.H.' (public house) only.
