The Robin Hood (3) - sign, Drayton Road, Drayton, Worcs Quite why this public house and restaurant has been named after Robin Hood isn't clear. There is still uncertainty about whether Robin Hood actually existed and, if he did, exactly where he operated. So far Worcestershire doesn't seem to be one of those. There is at least one other Robin Hood pub in the north of the county. Unfortunately the sign is rather faded. It is located on a post by the edge of the pavement in Drayton Road, near the vehicular access to The Robin Hood public house and restaurant.
