Robin Hood Street, Newport, Isle of Wight.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-10-27. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-05-03.
Robin Hood Street in Newport, Isle of Wight, connects Barton Road and Furlongs. It must take its name from the Robin Hood pub there, which closed in 2014 or later. The street was in existence and had its current name by 1891.
The street name occurs frequently in a pamphlet on Barton Village and the Great War, 1914–1918 (© 2018), which refers to persons living there in the years 1891–1939.[1] The earliest occurrences on maps currently known to IRHB are on the 25" O.S. map from 1908 and the 6" O.S, map from 1909 listed below.
