Coaching inn dating to the early 17th century. The large double doors at the side would give access to the stables situated at the rear. In 1966 plans to remove Weech Corner on which the Globe Inn stands threatened the inn with demolition; it's business was to transfer to the Valiant Soldier. Ironically, the proposals never materialised and it was the Valiant Solider that ended up closing down.

Globe Inn: Unlisted
A simple 19th century inn, given greater importance by virtue of its location. This makes it a prominent focal point at the top of Fore Street and without any apparent conscious design effort it also deflects the eye along Plymouth Road and Chapel Street.
Ordnance Survey, 2014, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV355681.
'Globe Inn' is depicted on the modern mapping.
