This Pub is Permanently Closed
The pub bunt down in May 2019 following closure in June 2018.
It had been a large local's pub on edge of Goldsworth Park housing estate although a lot older than the modern houses. Reputedly haunted by a local nurse who was killed in a accident with a horse and cart.
Historic Interest
It is not known exactly how old the Robin Hood is, although the front of the building is evidently Victorian. It has been suggested that the original ‘beer house’ served the nursery workers and faced in the other direction, but when the Woking Invalid Convict Prison (and later Inkerman Barracks) opened, the building was extended upwards and turned around to face the road. The 1871 census records John Palmer and his wife Jane as ‘innkeeper’ together with three lodgers all recorded as ‘assistant warders’ (presumably at the Prison.)
