The Lower Globe was situated at 3 Globe Fold, Whetley Hill and was closed in 2001 after being burnt out in the Bradford riots. Now demolished and site cleared. Present by 1822 when it was known as The Old Globe and the publican was John Jarrett.
The pub was burnt out in the Bradford Riots (2001) although it was derelict at the time.  I recall going in to the pub (I only went in the once) in the 1990s and being told how the pub was burned out in a previous riot by petrol bombs being thrown through the window.  Fortunately customers then managed to leave by the back entrance.

The site is not completely cleared - the back wall of the gents toilet and parts of the urninals are still visible!
