There was apparently a Robin Hood pub on Smithford Street in central Coventry in the early 18th century and perhaps before then. This street, the extension of High Street towards Spoon Street, fell victim to post-WWII reconstruction efforts in Coventry. The Robin Hood pub closed more than two hundred years earlier. A conveyance dated 1738 and a lease dated 1739 are said to refer to the property concerned as the former Robin Hood.[1]Template:PnItemQry
