Where exactly

Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY4012256016, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building has since been demolished.

At 59 Scotch Street, on the corner of Globe Lane, and trading before 1793. The Cumberland News's Lanes column of July 1992 puts it on the south side of Globe Lane. It did civic duty: early in the nineteenth century, before the city had settled arrangements, Doctors Heysham, Grinsdale and Lowry sat in judgement here while the Mayor held a rival court in the Town Hall. A pub as a magistrates' court, two hundred yards from where the Magistrates' Court stands today. Distinct from the Globe Inn on Bridge Street, which lasted until 2010.

It was a carriers' inn for the west. In 1811 Isaac Saul's carrier left the Globe for Keswick and Wigton, and in 1829 Anthony Bowman left it for Hesket Newmarket and Caldbeck and John Smith for Keswick. Jollie's directory of 1811 has a Christopher Park as an innkeeper in Scotch Street, perhaps already here before Elizabeth Park, whom Parson and White's directory of 1829 names as its keeper. John Bell and A. Gibson both signed the innkeepers' memorial of February 1867 for a Globe; which kept this one and which the Caldewgate Globe is not recorded. John Pearson, the wine merchant who also had the Gaol Tap corner on English Street, kept it in 1884 and 1894; Nicholson and Jefferson had it in 1897, and in 1906 it was the Globe Inn, under Robert Jefferson.

It was a Maryport Brewery house when the scheme acquired it in August 1916, or October by Historic England's gazetteer. In the 1920s it was reported as 'a small house, much frequented by women'. It closed in 1934, or August 1935 by the same gazetteer, and a late twentieth-century shopping centre covers the site.
