Category C Listed early 19th century former inn, described in the listing as including Watson's shop. The Globe Inn is listed in my directories in 1837, 1861, 1878 and 1886 but my 1903 directory doesn't include it. The front and middle sections are stone built suggesting the original footprint of the inn, with the rear brick sections a later addition. Between at least 1995 and 2006 the building was vacant and in 2005 planning had been granted for change of use to the former shop (Watson's?) and store to form a flat. In 2010 there appears to have been 3 flats here with a hairdressers in the ground floor shop and in the August, retrospective planning was approved for a shop and 3 flats. The shop seems currently unoccupied.
