Globe Inn, Corporation Street

Globe Inn, Corporation Street, Adelphi, Salford. (c) Neil Richardson, Tony Flynn, Alan Gall [1].

The Globe Inn stood on the corner of Mount Pleasant Street and Corporation Street, which was off Peru Street in the Adelphi corner of old Salford.  Pictured above is a picnic party outside the beerhouse held in 1937, courtesy of the rare, original 'Salford's Pubs 4' book [1].  The Globe can be traced back to 1851 and Cornbrook Brewery owned the property by the early 1900s, who survived closure attempts by the police and magistrates in 1907 and 1913.  The Globe was enlarged a few years later when the nearby beerhouse, the Ulster Arms, closed, and it lasted until the Trinity No.5 compulsory purchase order saw it off in 1959 [2].  Today, Mayan Close runs along the old route of Corporation Street and the Globe was about one-third the way down from Peru Street opposite this new small park.
