There is a pub named the Robin Hood at 125 Barton Road, the corner of Urmston Lane/Barton Road, in Stretford, Manchester.
Evidently the inn only became the Robin Hood at some point in the 19th century, for H. T. Crofton noted in 1903 that "[t]he Robin Hood Inn is the modern name for the old Waggon and Horses, and stood on the west side of Butt Lane, which leads from King Street or Urmston Lane towards Derbyshire Lane".[1] If, as this suggests, the inn was originally located north of King Street/Urmston Lane, it must at some point have moved a little south, for its present premises are on the south side of Kingsway/Urmston Lane. A citizen born c. 1816 remembered that "[i]n the roadway at Four Lane Ends, opposite the Waggon and Horses, which was afterwards the Robin Hood, there was an iron ring fixed for bear baiting".[2] One 19th century keeper after the pub had become the Robin Hood was named John Hamer[3] Slater's Directory for 1845 lists Josiah Johnson Smith, victualler", as keeper of the Robin Hood.[4]In keeping with O.S. practice for built-up areas, the maps listed below include the indication "P.H." but do not include the name of the pub.Template:PnItemQry
