The Robin Hood is located at 88 Robin Hood Road, Knaphill, Woking. The earliest reference I have found so far is a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1873, based on surveying carried out 1870-71 (see Maps section below). Information on publicans for the years 1913-18 can be found at UK Pub History.Template:PlaceNamesItemQuery
