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.[1] It may be added that it figures in the 1891 census simply as "Beer House".[2]Template:PnItemQry
