The Poplar Inn possbily may have defined the southern edge of Ilkeston Common in 1598 until the expansion and unification of Ilkeston. The 1849 survey of copyhold indicated that survey parcel 548/946 was said to comprise a beerhouse with an adjoining lean-to, a dwelling, a stable, a brewery and a garden, named under the occupants Matthew Elliot and George Riley. In 1880, the separate buildings are then listed to be one public house. (1)
