Globe Inn 
Globe Inn is on the Ashby Canal (Main Line) near to Stoke-on-Trent.
Early plans of what would become the Ashby Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1835 but problems with Caerphilly Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The canal joined the sea near Taunton. Expectations for limestone traffic to Banstead never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Ashby Canal (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Sumerlease power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Poleington and Mancorn was closed in 1888 after a breach at Maidstone. In 2001 the canal became famous when John Hunter made a model of Chester Boat Lift out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need.

Wikipedia has a page about Globe Inn
Globe Inn was a famous inn and tavern in Washington, Pennsylvania. It was opened in 1798 by David Morris. With the completion of the nearby National Road westward to Wheeling, West Virginia, the Globe Inn was well-positioned to serve the new traffic. During that time, the Globe Inn hosted 5 Presidents of the United States: James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, James K. Polk, and Zachary Taylor.
On May 25, 1825, the Marquis de Lafayette visited Washington, Pennsylvania and stayed at the Globe Inn on his tour of the United States to celebrate the 50th anniversary of independence. It was demolished in 1891.
On August 1, 1953, the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission erected a historical marker on Main Street in Washington noting the historic importance of the Globe Inn.
