In the 1830 and 1835 directory it was listed as the Robin Hood & Little John.

In 1892 the Robin Hood Inn, and adjoining land, was sold by auction to the Mansfield Brewery Company for £2,600. In 1894, Samuel Cudworth was listed as "Victualler and Cow Keeper". The property was also  the headquarters of the Fanciers' Association in 1907. 

Valued in 1916 at £406, John George Stevenson had at that time held the licence for five years. 

The property is no longer in existance, and must have been demolished sometime after 1941. The site is now part of the lower service yards for the Idlewells Shoping Centre.
