Robin Hood Inn in Rainworth was located at the intersection of Southwell Road East and Kirklington Road. Included on a 6" O.S. map of the area dated 1884, it appears under that name as late as 1946. A map dated 1947 labels the building 'Hotel'. However, the first photo in the image gallery below, taken 2008, shows that it still functioned as a pub at that time. The building now houses a Tesco Express. Pub History lists information on publicans for the years 1925-41.
