Hockley (now NE Nottingham), where the Robin Hood was located.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-10-14. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-18.

The Robin Hood in Hockley is included on a list of alehouse keepers' recognizances from 1761 (see record cited below). In similar entries from 1759 and 1762 it is referred to as the Green Man. A couple of other pubs on these lists also appear under two different names. In the case of the Robin Hood/Green Man, the vacillation is almost certainly due to its signboard allowing both interpretations and the name being set down in the record by someone other than the pub owner. I do not find it very likely that the proprietor should deliberately have changed the pub's name from the Green Man to Robin Hood between 1759 and 1761, only to change it back again already in 1762. On the other hand, Robin Hood and the Green Man may very well have looked similar enough on inn signs to lead to confusion. Other Green Men are known to have morphed into Robin Hoods.[1]
