The Old Globe Tavern
The Globe Inn or Old Globe Tavern once stood on Main St opposite Hall Farm. It too had ceased serving by the time of the 1918 Estate Sale, when it was sold as part of lot 49.
The Booths and Footitts
John and Eliza Booth are the first people to keep this beerhouse and shop that we know about. John must have died early because in 1857 his widow Eliza remarried and in the 1861 Census Eliza and Gervas Foottit are keeping the pub and have started to raise a family. We don't know if Gervas was always simple or if he suffered some misfortune, but in the 1871 he was described as an imbecile - he died in 1873 aged 44. Mary Footit continued to keep the pub until her second son William Booth took over (by 1879). William kept the pub until at least 1900, marrying and raising a family of his own.
By the time of the 1918 Estate Sale, the former Globe Inn formed part of Lot 49: six brick and tile cottages with gardens and outbuildings (nos 66- 71 Main St). They were sold to a Mr Brown, for £450. The tenants at that time were: Colonel Harold Thorpe, Thomas Bryan, Frederick Ingram, John Kelham, Arthur Bryan and others. (Mr Brown of Wollaton bought a total of 22 cottages and 12 acres of woodland for £3,375 in the Estate Sale.)
In the 1957 Directory the following people were found at the Lot 49 addresses: 66: Reginald Leader; 67: Robert W Rawlinson; 68: Sarah Blackett and Florence E Ingram; 69: Mabel A Draycott; 70: John Mastin; 71: John T Kelham. In 1961 Mr Rawlinson had moved and neither Sarah Blackett nor Florence Ingram was listed.
As far as we can tell from aerial photographs, the cottages were demolished between 1966 and 1989. By 1966 the Morgan's Close estate had been built behind the Main St cottages.
