Growing Up In Barnes 1950s
We moved to Glebe Road in 1952 (Cousland) and it was a wonderful place for children. We had a back gate opening on to the common and made full use of it. The grass was cut every year and baled for hay and we used to rush ...Read more

Pontypool Town Centre

Remembering my childhood memories in Cossall, what fun we had. I lived on The Glebe from 1953 for 50 years. I remember the cold winters, waking up in the mornings with ice on the inside of the bedroom windows, going to Top School and ...Read more

12 Glebe Avenue Kolordek

Kingsbury Swimming Pool
I remember queuing outside the pool for what felt like hours on a hot summer's day. The price to get in went as low as 1d - or am I mistaken? We used to climb up a drainpipe at the back of the pool to get in, not to save ...Read more

On the left is Oriel Terrace, built in 1847, while the grounds of Glebe House are on the right.
Glebe Farm and the tithe barn disappeared in the 1960s; the original thatched roof was under corrugated iron sheeting.
The earliest plans were to centre the business heart of the town on Glebe Street and develop into Arcot Street.
The turning for Glebe Road is by the double-fronted house in the centre, and the National Provincial Bank was later built on the opposite corner.
Looking southwards along Church Lane, we see the thatched Glebe Cottage, which was originally two dwellings. Beyond it is Wickham Cottage, which has since undergone major restoration.
Here we have a summer scene showing part of the Glebe area behind the Promenade. People in the shelters watch the play on the three public tennis courts.
He rebuilt the house, and diverted local roads and created a park with avenues of trees on his glebe land.
It was only very recently that it was discovered that it had never been Mary Arden's house after all - she had lived next door at Glebe Farm.
The local vicar profited by the enterprise, for some of the mines were on his glebe lands.
In 1870 the cattle market was moved to the Glebe Field near Holy Trinity Church.
The Globe Inn, beyond, run by Mrs Stiff, is 18th-century, but re-fronted in the 19th century. The County Primary School is set back behind the Globe.
The Globe at Swanage was carved out of a great mass of Portland Stone, ten feet in diameter and forty tons in weight.The Globe is positioned to represent the position of the earth in space, with nearby
It has been pedestrianised with trees, imitation gas globe lights and CCTV, with Starbucks occupying the old Lloyds Bank building (extreme right) and an opticians shop in lieu of E J Gibbs on the corner
Ye Olde Reinedeer Inn is famous for the Globe Room, a Civil War meeting place.
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 it is the former Globe Theatre, and Maxwell's Corner Shop stands in the centre distance.
The central lamp standard dates from 1873: the globe is supported by fishes and surmounted with the crown and arrows of St Edmund, to whom the church is dedicated.
Further down the road on the right is the Globe Hotel.
The pump and war memorial remain unchanged, although the Victorian double- gabled house beyond has lost its original porch, and the windows of the Globe Inn have been altered.
On top of the column is a bronze casting of winged Victory standing on a globe with one hand bearing the victor's palm, now sadly broken off.
Locals gather outside the Globe Tavern, perhaps waiting for opening time. Longtown has mythical con- nections with King Arthur, and still stands in the parish of Arthuret.
The Globe Hotel (right) is now much extended, and has been renamed the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Although Abingdon has the second oldest independent brewery in the country, Morland, the Old Globe, on the far side of the square, is selling Usher's Ales.
The statue is surmounted by the gilded bronze winged figure of Fame, poised with one foot on a globe.
