In the early 18th century and perhaps earlier there seems to have been a Robin Hood pub on Smithford Street in central Coventry. The street disappeared as a victim of post-WWII reconstruction efforts in Coventry, the pub was already history two hundred years before the war began. A conveyance dated 1738 and a lease dated 1739 are said to refer to it as the former Robin Hood.[1]Template:PnItemQry
