A pub named the Robin Hood existed in Denmead, Hampshire, in 1891.
The pub's name is recorded in the 1891 census of Hapshire as 'The Robinhood'.[1] The census-taker visited the place during the part of his route that brought him to Closewood Farm, Piper's Hill Farm, Sheep Wash Farm, and Mead End. Based on this, it seems a reasonable guess that the pub was situated somewhere in the southeast or at least east part of Denmead. The coordinate entered in the infobox and indicated on the interactive map simply points to a random location in this area.
