Planning was approved in September 1883 for Robey & Co. to build this as a coffee palace. Architect was listed as ‘self’ indicating Robey staff. They also had ‘additions to’ planning approved in April 1919 with Watkins & Son architects. It seems to have been operated under different guises and is listed in directories as; 1885 No.81 Canwick Road William Jackson, coffee house; 1889 No.79 Canwick Road William Jackson, coffee rooms; 1894-1897 Globe Coffee Tavern, proprietor J R Hatton; 1901 now No.95, proprietors J R Hatton and Son; 1905 R Hatton Jn., coffee rooms; 1909-1913 manager Richard B Skelton; 1919 (Ruddock’s) Globe Coffee Tavern, manager Harry Wadland. (Kelly’s) Robey & Co., canteen; In 1965 it was listed just as Robey & Co. Ltd. but I remember around this time it was known as Robey’s Club and is referred to as such by the band ‘Salvador’ in August 2002. About 2003 to 2005 it was Sirens Gentleman’s Club. It was sold in 2007 (probably to Tendgrain Ltd.) and in 2009 looked to have been converted to 1-11 Globe House but partly unoccupied. By 2011 it looked fully refurbished.
