The statue is surmounted by the gilded bronze winged figure of Fame, poised with one foot on a globe.
This view looks south-east towards the much changed crossroads, just beyond the Globe Hotel.
The Globe Hotel, the original terminus for stagecoaches from Exeter, was sited here, but it has long since been demolished.
In the distance, the tower of St Paul's church peers above the roof of the Globe Hotel. Nearby is the Perse School, established in 1625, and moved here from Free School Lane in 1890.
Beyond is the noble dome of St Paul's Cathedral, while behind the photographer Shakespeare's Globe Theatre has recently been entirely reconstructed, and the massive Bankside Power Station of 1960 is being
R Sweet's shop is now painted white, and is the Misterton Post Office and Stores, while beyond is The Globe Inn.
The Globe Hotel next door is still in business; originally it had a pleasant garden in front. Below it was yet another inn, the White Hart.

The three-storey building on the left-hand corner was built in 1849 to replace the Globe, which had succeeded the earlier Cock and Pye Inn.

That is not to say there are not problems here, but these are challenging times across the globe. No place is really isolated. As for neglected, that is not Luton's fault.
For generations, children in every corner of the globe have seen the words 'Ladybird Books, Loughborough, England' on the brightly coloured books which helped to shape their lives.
