Probable approximate location of Robin Hood's Mill. A less likely alternative
location is the neighbouring field immediately west of Stainforth Lane.

The red dots indicate Robin Hood's Mill, top left (possible location) or top right (probable location), with Robin Hood's Pasture just below. It is uncertain if the latter should be identified with Robin Hood Close.

Robin Hood's Mill was located either in the field where what looks like areas of exposed gravel are visible or, more probably, in the field opposite, on the right side of the road (Stainforth Lane).

Robin Hood's Mill is indicated on an 1851 O.S. 6" map of the Stainforth area (formerly West Riding, now North Yorkshire). The name is included also on later O.S. 6" maps of the area dated 1896 and 1910 (see Maps section below). The mill appears to have been situated in the field between, to the west, Stainforth Lane and, to the east, the Ribble, but it is possible it was located in the southeastern corner of the neighbouring field immediately west of Stainforth Lane. Depending on the exact location of the mill, immediately south or southeast of it was located Robin Hood's Pasture, which may have also been referred to as Robin Hood Close (unless the latter was a distinct place in this area).
