I don't know about Globe works Lyn. Certainly from at least 1895 to 1940 it was called the Albion works, and was the home of Bodill Parker in its various incarnations. In 1895 they were described as sail eyelet makers, but I guess by 1940 this market was a bit restricted, so they are described as brassworks. the edge of St Georges is in the top right .
35-36 shown in yellow on map.

My eyes are failng (or my brain). When I read your request I read it as asking for 34-36 an was going to point out 34 was separate. . When I came to write the post i realised it was 35-36 you asked for, but had already coloured the map
