6 (12 ) Victoria Street
Whitstable
Above photo showing Victoria Street after the bombings of October 1941.
I do not know whether the "Globe" is shown in this shot. Kind
permission given from Kent Photo Archive. |
Above photo 2018 kindly sent by Garth Wyver. The lockup garages is
approximately the site of the "Globe Inn." All buildings shown are post
WW2. |
Above map 1890, kindly sent and annotated by Rory Kehoe. Showing the
location of the pub, at the NW end of Victoria Street. Next door to the
"Globe," on earlier OS maps, is blank space (shaded in blue) which after
1909 appears as a building. Whether this was an extension to the
"Globe," or a new house, is not known at this stage. Of interest, is the
fact the "Globe" doesn't appear on any of the tied house lists for the
breweries which operated in East Kent in the early 20th century. It may
have been an outlier for a more distant brewery, a free house (rare in
those days) or, by way of oversight, simply been left off the lists.
Again, time and further research will provide an answer to this
question. |
The bomb in October 1941 fell on a fish and chip shop and did damage to
buildings in Victoria and Regent Streets.
The magnetic mine that was dropped during WW2 landed directly onto 10
Victoria Street, W. R. Tilly's Fish and Chip shop. The corner of Victoria
and Regent. Much of Victoria Street, was destroyed from Harbour Street, to
St Peters Road.
This would include 6 Victoria Street, Herbert Harman Hairdresser. The
same address of the "Globe" given in the census taken late 1800s. Also
listed in the 1938 directory is 6a, (The Old Shed) Foreman, G. W. Furniture
dealer. I can imagine that shed belonging to the "Globe."
Conclusion, the "Globe" had closed prior to 1938.
As time allows and I find or are sent further information or pictures
regarding this pub I will be adding further information to this page. I am
certainly interested in any old photographs you may have, or information
regarding licensees names and years of service.
If anything is incorrect on these pages, please let me know. Your help is appreciated.

From the Canterbury Journal and Farmers' Gazette, Saturday 6 October, 1906.
THE GLOBE, WHITSTABLE.
Mr. R. M. Mercer applied for this licence, and Mr. Gibson said the
house was extremely small.
Superintendent Jacobs said the "Sovereign" and the "Fountain" were
close to the "Globe," which was situated in the congested area. The
"Globe" was totally unsuited for the trade, it being only a cottage.
In reply to Mr. Mercer, witness said during recent years all the
building at the back of the "Globe" had taken place. He thought the house
was required if it were rebuilt. he had seen the plans produced and
if the house was reconstructed he thought it would certainly be
wanted.
Mr. Mercer said he was appealing to Messrs. Flint in three houses at
Whitstable and three elsewhere, and he hoped if they gave up two,
the Bench would grant four. he did not seriously intent to fight the
case of the "Royal
Native" at Whitstable and the "Providence" at
Folkestone. he trusted the Committee would show their sympathy to
Messrs. Flint who had received a great knock in having so many
notices of objection served up on them. In regard top the "Globe,"
Whitstable, he submitted that it should be re-licensed as the
Superintendent of Police had said if reconstructed it would be
necessary.
The Committee refused to renew the licence. |
