The Robin Hood and Little John has done business under that name – now in the quirky variant "Robin Hood (and) Little John" – ever since 1796, when it opened in premises newly built for the purpose by Thomas Sturtivant, keeper of Nottingham jail,[1]
As is usually the case with public houses in urban areas, the Robin Hood and Little John is only indicated as "P.H." on the late 19th to mid-20th century O.S. maps (see Maps section below); on some it is not labelled at all.
