Robin Hood (Hove).

The Robin Hood seen from Norfolk Place / Google Earth Street View.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-11-18. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.

The still thriving Robin Hood pub in Hove was in business by 1866. Situated on the old boundary between Brighton and Hove, the pub now brands itself as a 'People's pub', distributing its profits to local community organisations.

A list of publicans for 1866–1938 can be found at the Pub Wiki. The pub is indicated as 'P.H.' on the early 25" O.S. maps listed below.
