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.
The freemason 'Lodge of Loyalty' held its meetings there from its founding in 1798 but had moved to another public house by 1816.[1] It has been suggested that the pub was built c. 1770.[2] A John Beard is listed as publican in 1860.[3] The Robin Hood appears in records at least as late as 1936. It was a Wilsons Brewery pub.[4] When the level of the A57 was raised, the building became isolated. It was converted into a private residence but was severly damaged by fire in the 1960.[2] It was subsequently demolished, probably in 1977, though according to others this was in the 1960s.[5]
