Who was Robert Snooks?
Robert Snooks was the last man to be executed in England for highway robbery, on 11 March 1802.
Born in Hungerford in Berkshire, he was christened as James Blackman Snook on 16 August 1761. The fact that his name is commonly quoted as Robert Snooks is perhaps due to a corruption of his identity as the “Robber” Snook.
