The Robin Hood on High Holborn, known as the Old Robin Hood by 1805, is probably the Robin Hood referred to in a 1757 case at the Old Bailey.
Since there were three Robin Hood pubs in Holborn – Robin Hood (High Holborn), Robin Hood (Holborn), Robin Hood (Leather Lane, Holborn) – it can be difficult to distinguish them in records like the Old Bailey case reports listed below, but the one we are concerned with here is most often identified as being on High Holborn, on Holborn Hill or just on Holborn. It also helps the identification when it is said to be near some street that is situated a little west of those that tend to be mentioned in connection with the two other pubs, but there are cases where identification must remain uncertain.
Information on publicans, employees and family members gleaned from trade and street directories for the period 1805–1938 can be found at UK Pub History (see Sources below). Template:PnItemQry
