Michael Foard's
widow Elizabeth Foard ran the 'Globe Inn' in Morpeth in the 1840's. She was seriously injured
early in 1843 when the gig she was driving was overturned down a hill near Mr. McCurdy's
offices. Mrs. Foard was thrown from the gig and
being unable to walk was carried into on the the neighbouring houses.11
When she died in 1845 aged 39, the license was taken out by
William
Thomas Brazil
12
William Brazill
ran the Inn for some time on the agreement to pay
Henry Fisher a weekly rent of £2. Fisher
was administrator in the estate of Elizabeth Foard
and when Brazill failed to pay the rent Fisher took
out a warrant to have Brazill evicted from the
premises. The warrant was issued in June 1848.
The Globe Inn was
advertised for sale in February 1849. It had been
recently thoroughly repaired and painted. There was
an extensive bar, two parlours, tap room,
travellers' room, six bedrooms servants, room 4 stall stable and out
houses; there was a good cellar and a large enclosed yard.
The property
adjoined the Hunter River Steam Navigation Company's wharf and was
considered in an excellent position for business commanding a trade that
could not help but make a fortune. 13
(Captain) Francis Henry Griffin was granted a
publican's license for the Globe in 1849.
Joseph
Swales was refused a publican's license for The Steamship Inn formerly
the Globe Inn in December 1849.
