Globe Inn

A Memory of Noss Mayo.

Dear Sir, My parents Derek and Shirley Battye were the licensees of the Globe in 1965 and I have many happy memories of the time we spent there, I would often catch crabs from thec quay and first went to school in Newton Ferrers via the minibus that picked us up from the "square" every morning . My best friend was Everett Leonard who lived in the house opposite , we would play on his "winch boat" for hours or fish in the stream below thehouse where the American's lived.. There was a shop inthe road behind the Inn(now a house) that sold all manner of things ( I remember seeing a pair of snow shoes on the wall ) it was my supplier of FAB lollies during the long hot summer holidays. We would have to parade in spring with May Poles through the streets in Newton Ferrers it was rather embarrassing as a boy but I suppose quite quaint.
