I had a mooch around Muirend recently and started at the old Toledo / ABC Muirend cinema, a charming little cinema where I worked briefly as holiday cover from the Odeon, who by then owned both cinema chains. Converted to flats, this is how it looks in November 2019, I’ve also included some of my archive pictures, taken shortly after closure and a Scottish Screen Archive picture of the Toledo in 1933. “The Toledo opened on 2nd October 1933. Originally seating 1,598 people It was designed by William Beresford Inglis, who built other cinemas in Glasgow and also designed the Beresford Hotel in Sauchiehall Street. The cinema design is a rare Scottish example of an atmospheric cinema. The Toledo interior was designed to give a feel that the patron was sitting outside in a Spanish courtyard, surrounded on either side by small false buildings and painted landscapes, with a ceiling above painted blue to feel like sky. Even more rarely, the exterior of the building was also in a "Spanish/American" style.” (Wikipedia) The Toledo closed on 21st October 2001 and is now flats behind the ‘B’ listed facade. #glasgow #glasgowlife #glasgowcinemas #glasgowcinema #glasgowarchitecture #scottisharchitecture #cinema #cinemaarchitecture #cinemaarchitects #williamberesfordinglis #atmosphericcinema #toledo #toledocinema #abccinemas #abccinema #muirend #beresfordhotel #beresfordbuildingglasgow #cinemabuildings #cinematreasures #scottishcinema #scottishcinemas
Glasgow's George Square done up as part of Philadelphia for the filming of some scenes from up and coming film World War Z, starring Brad Pitt.
Somerset Place Mews, Charing Cross, Glasgow. I liked the range of tones and shapes here. There are quite a few of these mews places in this part of Glasgow, also in the west end, they look like really nice places to live. #glasgow #glasgowlife #glasgowarchitecture #glasgowphotography #glasgowbuildings #glasgowcity #glasgowcreates #ig_glasgow #mysecretglasgow #visitglasgow #mews #monochromatic #monochromephotography #bw
