Robert Snooks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Snooks, (abt. 1761-1802) alternatively spelled Snook, also known by the first name James, was the last man to be executed in England for highway robbery, on March 11, 1802. A small memorial stone in Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead, England marks the approximate spot where he was hanged. A bar in the nearby Dacorum Pavilion (since closed) was named in Snooks' honour, and used the silhouette of a mounted highwayman as its sign.
