Globe Inn 2010

Back in 2006 the Globe Inn on the corner of Lumn Road and Walker Lane was a colourful sight.

Now alas it is boarded up as it has been for around two years.

Meanwhile its neighbour on Lumn Road, the Gardeners Arms, has new landlords.

Lumn Road Triangle

Above the junction of Lumn Road with Norman Street there is a grassy triangle. At one time it supported three trees but now there are only two.

See how it was in the 1980s from the opposite direction on Hyde Cheshire.

For a closer view of the foreground shadow see Hyde Daily Photo.
