Robinson House is a former bakehouse and butchers. Richard Patrick, who gave his name to Patrick's Lane, erected the detached house and outbuildings and this was used as the Bakehouse. Alan Robinson was the last recorded baker to use the property and is listed in the 1911 census. Alan was one of three bakers in Deanshanger before the war. The others were Alf Hyde, at the bakehouse adjacent to Boswell Lane (point of interest - 9), and Spence Masters, further along the High Street (point of interest - 11). Soon after the war, Alan was the only baker remaining. He shared the premises with his brother who ran a butcher's shop from the other half of the building.
Robinson House is now a private residence.
