A pub named the Robin Hood on 76 Gorton Lane, at or very near the junction of that road and Brougham Street, in Gorton, South Manchester, is recorded in a trade directory of 1876 and the 1881 census.

The Pub History site provides just those two references for the pub. It may be added that it figures in the 1891 census simply as "Beer House". Template:PnItemQry
