Robin Hood Mill seems to have been established by 1823.[1] From 1840 to 1874 if not later, the tenant was Ramsden, Camm & Company, manufacturers of telegraph wire, cables etc.[2] Like the nearby Little John Mill, The Robin Hood Mill was built on land owned by the Armytage family of Kirklees Hall. Since they owned the land on which Robin Hood's alleged grave is found, it is a reasonable guess that they suggested these names for the mills.
Robin Hood Mill was probably one of the properties sandwiched in between Clifton Road and Wakefield Road, which would account for the address being variously given as one or the other. Also see Robin Hood Wire Works.
