c. 1966

West Berkshire HER MWB16004 (Shaw Crescent / Smith's Crescent): houses 1–9 at the southern end were demolished in 1962 for the Robin Hood Roundabout; soon afterwards the most southerly house in Shaw Crescent — the Greyhound public house — was demolished. User research places that demolition c.1966–67. Circa only — do not treat 1966 as an exact year. Distinct from the surviving Robin Hood / Toby Carvery farther east.
