[[File:|thumb|right|500px|Robinhood Lane, Winnersh / Google Maps Street View.]]
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-05-28. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-09-21.
Robinhood Lane in Winnersh runs north-east from Reading Road to become Davis Street north of the A329 (M) overpass.
Until sometime in the latter half of the 20th century, the road followed a less direct course than it does at present. North of Arbor Lane, it turned NNE, following the course of the present Robin Hood Way. See this for further discussion of changes to the course of the road. The earliest source to include the road name known to IRHB is a 6" O.S. map dating from 1883 (see below). The English Place-Name Society's volume on this part of Berkshire conflates it with Robin Hoods and Robin Hoods Ground, citing no date for Robinhood Lane.[1]Template:PnItemQry

Robinhood Lane, Winnersh / Google Maps Street View.
Formerly Robinhood Lane turned NNE here along the course of the present Robin Hood Way, now separated from it by a bit of railing and a narrow foot walk / Google Maps Street View.
