The pub is included in a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1850, based of a survey carried out 1844-46 (see Maps below). Dating from the 1930s, the present building was built on a bowling green that had belonged to the old pub. The pub's history went much further back, however, for already in 1739 a local Robin Hood Farm was operating an ale house, believed to have been the first in Clifton. In 1840 a new pub had been built and a brewhouse added. Clifton's bowling, football, and fishing clubs all used the pub as their headquarters.[1] In 1900, "the annual show of the Clifton Gooseberry and Horticultural Society was held at the Robin Hood Hotel, Clifton".[2]
