The Robin Hood or Robin Hood Inn on Chesterfield Road, in the hamlet of Robin Hood in the parish of Baslow and Bubnell, is first recorded on a 1" O.S. map of the area published in 1840.[1]
The pub figures on 6" and 25" O.S. maps from 1883 to the 1950s (see Maps section below). It evidently lent its name to the hamlet that grew up around it as well as two localites there. See further the page on Baslow place-name cluster.
