The Robin Hood in Middle Brook Street, Winchester, was in existence by 1828. It was demolished in the 1950s.[1]
The street seems to have been renumbered at least once, and it is not clear where the Robin Hood (at No. 30) was situated. In 1855, the proprietor was a Samuel Bennett.[2] A wealth of information from trade directories, censuses etc. can be found at Pub History.[3]
