Examination of old property records has identified the plot of land occupied by the Globe as extending from the west side of modern-day Southwark Bridge Road eastwards as far as Porter Street and from Park Street southwards as far as the back of Gatehouse Square. However, the precise location of the building remained unknown until a small part of the foundations, including one original pier base, was discovered in 1989 beneath the car park at the rear of Anchor Terrace on Park Street.It was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614. The shape of the foundations is now replicated on the surface. The Globe was built by carpenter Peter Smith and his men. It was the most magnificent theatre that London had ever seen. It could hold several thousands of people. The Globe didn’t just have plays, it was also used as a brothel and a gambling house. While designers tried to remain as faithful to the old plans as possible, there are modern differences that are apparent. Lighting is state-of-the-art, sprinklers are ever-present, and there is a lobby and visitor center for guests as well as an expanded backstage area for the actors and technical staff.
