The Globe (London newspaper)

It was founded by Christopher Blackett,[1][2] the coal mining entrepreneur from Wylam, Northumberland, who had commissioned the first commercially useful adhesion steam locomotives in the world.

Under the ownership of Robert Torrens during the 1820s it supported radical politics, and was regarded as closely associated with Jeremy Bentham.

[11][12] The first turnover article appeared in January 1877, and was titled Irish Life by Richard Barry O'Brien (1847–1918).

Some readers abandoned the paper after the turnovers were moved from their traditional place on the front page.

[9] Foster stated in 1914 that "every journalist and literary man in London has at some time or other in his early days written Globe turnovers"[13] Authors of Globe turnover articles included: Staff of the newspaper included William Davenport Adams, Arthur Morrison, Ernest A. Treeton, William Le Queux,[20] and P. G. Wodehouse, who took over from William Beach Thomas as assistant to Harold Begbie on the "By the Way" column and eventually succeeded Begbie in 1904.
