Denmark Street where the Robin Hood was located.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-22. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-05-03.
The Robin Hood in Wokingham is recorded only in the brief period 1850-54.
The pub was located somewhere on Down Street, the present Denmark Street,[1] southeast of Market Place. Since IRHB has not been able to determine the exact location, the coordinate listed in the infobox and indicated on the interactive map is simply a point on Denmark Street. Information on publicans etc. can be found at Pub History.[2]
