A pub named the Robin Hood is recorded during the years 1852–1935 on the western corner of the intersection of Harrogate Road and Dudley Hill Road, in Undercliffe, Bradford.
The pub is included on a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1852 but is not found on subsequent revisions. On 25" maps published in 1893 and 1908 it is indicated simply as 'Inn', while 25" maps from 1921 and 1935 it is indicated as 'P.H.' IRHB has no data to suggest when the pub closed. Some 70 metres to the northeast on the southeast side of Harrogate Road is Sherwood Place, on which is found Sherwood Green Nursery, but since no other street in the vicinity has a Robin Hood-themed name, it is quite uncertain if the name element 'Sherwood' was suggested by the presence of the Robin Hood Inn.
