Hi I am new to this board, but was raised in Alvington. I am trying to find out some detail on the history of the Globe quickly! I know it is now Grade 11 listed, but want to try and find out its past uses. i know its been a pub and was up and running by 1805, but i also know at some time it was run as a hotel and am trying to find out details. My reason for asking (and the hurry) is that there is a planning application in with the forest of dean council to turn it into flats, and build some houses on the land attached to it and i think this would be a crying shame. objections to the application for planning have to be in by 25th August, so you can see why i am in a hurry to find out details.
Thanks Lottiy
