The 'Globe Works', Lincoln

[Geoff-E]

Do You know if there would there be a list of employee's from the globe works at that time?

I can only suggest that you contact Lincs Archives to enquire if they have anything relating to Robey's Works.

Sometime (1960s perhaps) Robey's was taken over by International Combustion (of Derby?)

It seems you may be in luck (or not) - see www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/Download/803 about p97-98

From my experience company records (usually archived at the National Archives) rarely include personnel records, BUT if there is a fatal accident then local newspapers are usually a good source and often have the human interest element too.

There is also another pub on that road The Travellers Rest opposite the Chaplin Arms . All my family on my maternal side lived in that area in the late 1800s mid 1900s, Canwick Road, Great Northern Terrace and I was born in Clifton Grove (off Great Northern Terrace)

all this nostalgia, i am feeling old. I remember Robey's used to be the globe works but was the production the same as Robey's? I have no idea. I also remember there was a row of houses between pelham bridge and Robey's and a transport cafe on the opposite side .           sue

the row of houses between Pelham Bridge and Robeys was Great Northern Terrace which led round to a number of side streets inc Clifton Grove where I was born. I have a fab CD of the building of Pelham Bridge and there's lots of footage of the area pre the building of the bridge when Canwick Road went all the way up to Melville Street. Lots of my family lived in the area

That sounds very interesting Penny. My sister in law lived in great northern terrace . I find it sad losing all the local history and I suppose we will be saying "I remember the grand hotel" in the future . lol

If you want me to send you the details of the CD let me know. I won't be here to pick up any messages now til Tuesday

This is the DVD that Penny was talking about http://blowbyblow.co.uk/store/product.php?id_product=12

I have it myself.


Interesting about the Travellers Rest ... it appears in the 1957 directory as simply
119 Canwick Road, Mrs BROTHWELL, Beer retailer, so it may not have had a full licence. 

Penny ... do you remember Michael Roy and his shops?

Thankyou very much I would enjoy watching that . Is it available in the city?
