Robin Hood Inn

[mg]

Hello All,

I have discovered that an ancestor was running a pub called The Robin Hood Inn at Hepston, Yorkshire on the 1939 register. I have looked at maps around the area and found two pubs of that name, but they are both further out of where I think Hepston is/was. The ones I see are in Hebden, is this the same place due to the boundary being extended? I'm a little confused and would appreciate any help in locating the Robin Hood Inn that was in Hepston. Any info welcome, thank you,

Can’t find anywhere called Hepston - only Heptonstall

Who is the ancestor you have found

Can you post a link to the relevant page of the 1939 register please?

I think it is Hebden Bridge - Hepton is the RD mentioned on the transcript

So Hepton - not Hepston?

Seems to be 26 Keighley Rd looking at the other entries

I popped "Hepton" on the Borough/District field and "Robin Hood" in Optional Keywords which delivered Valentine Simpson, Keighley Rd

It's still there, in Keighley Road, Pecket Well, Hebden Bridge
