The Robin Hood Roundabout at the intersection of the A339 (formerly A34), London Road, the A4, and Shaw Road, in Newbury, was built in 1966.[1]
The roundabout was altered in 1977, but apparently further alterations were required already in the 1980s.[2] No doubt the roundabout was named after its neighbour, the Robin Hood.Template:PnItemQry
