There was a pub named the Robin Hood at Queen Caroline Street in Hammersmith from 1871 or earlier to 1891 or later.
At the time the street was named Queen Street, the house number being variously given as No. 27 or 29 of that street or as 1 (Fulham) Palace Road since the pub was on the corner of those two streets. Fulham Palace Road was a short street on the east side of Hammersmith Bridge Road c. 50 m north of the bridge, connecting this street with Queen (Caroline) Street.
Pub Wiki provides information on publicans etc. for the years 1871-91. It also includes a black and white photograph of the pub from, perhaps, the early years of the 20th century.[1] Template:PnItemQry
