I wonder if there will be a move/expansion to Globe Road at some point? 🙂

Many thanks to GA and Sarah for yet-another revealing exploration of this specialized world.
As we say in New York: “Who KNEW?”. My husband is a collector of globes, and I look forward to sharing this post with him this evening, glasses of wine in hand.
Here’s to Spitalfields Life, and all the continual discoveries.

What a magnificent studio and enterprise. The work that goes into each globe is incredible. Love the photographs. My partner loves globes. Now I think I know why.

Brilliant. For some years (about three really) I have been wanting to fully understand how Earth is arranged and have been searching for a certain type of globe. A globe a bit like a 3D puzzle where one can remove the land layers, the seas and oceans layers to see the tectonic plates underneath, which are also removable to whatever lays below.
Does such a globe exist?
Perhaps Peter Bellerby can advise me?

Skills and art which has been lost in time. Peter has regained these skills by his own input not forgetting his incredible staff. Globes are useful, when countries change so do globes or modified to cope. They make wonderful ornaments for the home and big office situations such as the Ford building entrance New York. For us humble people buy a small one and travel the world by globe yes show children the world – nice. What next Peter go electric and invent the ever spinning/shining globe.
