This was closed for misconduct in 1849 but James Barker managed to reopen the following year. I don't know for how long although have reference to this in 1859. Another "Globe" was active on Commercial Quay in 1859-60 however. Could this be one and the same?

It has been suggested that the pub later became the "Blue Post."

The landlord of the "Globe," in Bulwark Street, was fined £5, and 11s. costs, for keeping a disorderly house, of which a complaint was made on the Monday previous.

 

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports Advertiser, 17 February, 1849.

George C. B. Rolfe, hawker, charged with stealing a tobacco box at the "Globe" Inn. From the evidence, it appeared that the box had been handed to Rolfe, who had requested a pipe of tobacco; that it them passed through the hands of several present in the room, and not being returned to the owner, the present charge was made against Rolfe, as the party to whom the box had been delivered by the prosecutor. - The Bench considered that no felony had been intended, and, after some advisory remarks, discharged the prisoner.
