Black Robin (Local Highwayman) Return to Barham Landmarks |

The Dover Mail Coach |
Before the age of the combustion engine, when passengers
came to and fro by mail coach, a notorious highwayman by the name Black
Robin terrorised the travellers.
He is reported to have been a thorough scoundrel, shooting down coachmen in cold blood. His end was richly deserved when he was caught and hanged on the gallows erected at Barham Cross Roads. |
