On the left is Oriel Terrace, built in 1847, while the grounds of Glebe House are on the right.
Glebe Farm and the tithe barn disappeared in the 1960s; the original thatched roof was under corrugated iron sheeting.
Looking southwards along Church Lane, we see the thatched Glebe Cottage, which was originally two dwellings.
The earliest plans were to centre the business heart of the town on Glebe Street and develop into Arcot Street.
The turning for Glebe Road is by the double-fronted house in the centre, and the National Provincial Bank was later built on the opposite corner.
Here we have a summer scene showing part of the Glebe area behind the Promenade.
He rebuilt the house, and diverted local roads and created a park with avenues of trees on his glebe land.
It was only very recently that it was discovered that it had never been Mary Arden's house after all - she had lived next door at Glebe Farm.
The local vicar profited by the enterprise, for some of the mines were on his glebe lands.
In 1870 the cattle market was moved to the Glebe Field near Holy Trinity Church.
The Globe Inn, beyond, run by Mrs Stiff, is 18th-century, but re-fronted in the 19th century.
The Globe at Swanage was carved out of a great mass of Portland Stone, ten feet in diameter and forty tons in weight.The Globe is positioned to represent the position of the earth in space, with nearby
It has been pedestrianised with trees, imitation gas globe lights and CCTV, with Starbucks occupying the old Lloyds Bank building (extreme right) and an opticians shop in lieu of E J Gibbs on the corner
Ye Olde Reinedeer Inn is famous for the Globe Room, a Civil War meeting place.
In the distance, the tower of St Paul's church peers above the roof of the Globe Hotel.
On top of the column is a bronze casting of winged Victory standing on a globe with one hand bearing the victor's palm, now sadly broken off.
The pump and war memorial remain unchanged, although the Victorian double- gabled house beyond has lost its original porch, and the windows of the Globe Inn have been altered.
Further down the road on the right is the Globe Hotel.
Locals gather outside the Globe Tavern, perhaps waiting for opening time.
The central lamp standard dates from 1873: the globe is supported by fishes and surmounted with the crown and arrows of St Edmund, to whom the church is dedicated.
Beyond it is the former Globe Theatre, and Maxwell's Corner Shop stands in the centre distance.
The Globe Hotel (right) is now much extended, and has been renamed the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Although Abingdon has the second oldest independent brewery in the country, Morland, the Old Globe, on the far side of the square, is selling Usher's Ales.
The statue is surmounted by the gilded bronze winged figure of Fame, poised with one foot on a globe.
