By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-02-15. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-05-31.

A ferry across the Lea was named after Robin Hood as early as 1810. At some point in the 19th century the ferry came to be operated by the publican at the Robin Hood Tavern at High Hill Ferry.[1] The ferry, which took people from Leyton to Clapton, ceased operating after WWII.[2]

While the reference to Robin Hood Ferry in the 1810 Old Bailey case summary (see Records below) most probably concerns the general area rather than the ferry itself, it clearly implies that the ferry was then named after Robin Hood. Template:PnItemQry
