    I may be able to help here. My parents kept the Globe for the last ten years of its existence.

    Hello there
    I believe my grandfather was a landlord here in the 1930s. His name was Griffith Llewellyn Jenkins (died 1939) and his father (Griffith Owen Jenkins) had also run the Copperhouse in Cwm Afan a generation before.

    My grandparents were landlord and landlady in the Globe for 30 years until around 1969 – 1970. I grew up there and have good memory of the internal layout and back of the building. I also have some photos. Please contact me if you are interested.
