The Robin Hood Inn in Mottram Moor – between Mottram in Longdendale and Hollingworth – was situated c. 40 metres east of Carrhouse Lane, on the south side of the A57. It was in existence by 1798.
By the latter date it had become a meeting place for the local freemasons. It has been suggested that it was built c. 1770.[1] It appears in records at least as late as 1936. When the level of the A57 was raised, the building became isolated. It was converte into a private residence but was severly damaged by fire in the 1960 and was then demolished.[1]
