As a child in the early 1970’s I watched the movie The Land That Time Forgot in that cinema. My uncle was the manager and we got in free. Great video.

Elena…thank you so much for this truly wonderful look at Anniesland.  I’ve lived in Glasgow all my life, and your videos are encouraging me to look afresh at the city in which I was born and raised.  Sometimes, I guess, it takes a new arrival to point out the value of what is around you.

Fabulous historical review of Anniesland Elena,love it✋🏻❤🌹🙏🏻

Your videos are fantastic! Always so well researched. And I love your presentation style 🌟

Grew up half a mile from kelvin court and derived papers there for 6 years 82 to 88. I remember Ascot as a cinema then bingo and the ascot flats across from kelvin court was vacant land in 70s with wild blackberry and raspberry bushes. It was called the plots. Think it was old mine shafts. Mum used to make jam.....aw man happy days. Much simpler times. Esquire had 2 bars downstairs and I cannot remember the names. Went to Sunday school at that church for a short time

Great video Elena, you're always so well researched and informative. Thank you.

Love your video ❤

Anniesland is my Past.  My mother (1917-2014)  saw it as fields.  As a message boy in 1966 I delivered groceries to Kelvin Court.  Visit Westerton next.

Brilliant video I have great memories of Anniesland and at one time there was a favourite record shop of mine I visited regularly yes back in the days of Vinyl long before CDs and still have my records today that I bought there it's sadly gone now and last time i was there it became a Cafe,
Brilliant bit of history once again and some interesting facts i never knew 👍 ❤

Anniesland holds great memories for me, I met my wife of 56 years on a blind date at a shop that used to be there (R.S. McCall's). After we met we went to the Odeon (Askit cinema).
When I was a small boy my mother and I were involved in an accident when the tram we were in collided with a lorry, it was a small incident but memorable.

Love how you pronounce Glesga Elena your richt Gleswegian noo.

Great "history of Glasgow" walkabout, Elena. I loved those Art Deco buildings. Especially the cinema. A pity it no longer functions as such. a darn sight  better looking than the modern multiplex types. The "No2" address solicited an inner chuckle. 😂
And what a size contrast between the church and that huge Nineteen Sixties building.

Loved this video. Have travelled through Anniesland many many times into and out of Glasgow, and also to visit my grannie, who lived down the road in Yarrow's cottages. Can you do a video on that area sometime, please?

Yes it used to be a public toilet & lay empty for years, but in In 2013, former Rangers player Jorg Albertz and a construction partner undertook a roughly £300,000 project to renovate the disused C-listed structure into a tapas bar named La Pasionaria, though the commercial plans ultimately stalled after internal works were completed. Recent proposals have explored turning the windowless site into alternative uses such as a holiday let.

Hi there
Enjoyed this trip down memory lane , thanks , across from the art deco building used to be the Earl Haig ( the poppy ) building I don’t know if it’s still there , the public toilets were a saviour , I used them many times also the ones across from the old royal infirmary, I was always working and driving around and those two toilet stops were a godsend at times , and back in the day very clean , I love these wee look back in time videos , but it does make me realise I’m really old now

Watch Elvis Presley in Jailhouse Rock when the cinema was called the Gaumont I was 16 years old, memories eh.🤔 Well done Elena. 👍

Hàlo lovely, thank you for the walk down memory lane ❤ so many. From the pictures on a Saturday afternoon with my dad to the butchers below the mansions where I threw sawdust in my mum's face when I was 3 lol and so many more ❤ have a great day, love, and hugs xcx ❤🤗❤

I remember those toilets on anniesland,my grandmother worked as an attendant there,surprised it's still there,but I learn now it s a listed building that explains it,any way great memories,thank you for this   interesting video.

I believe that the area which is now taken up by the Morrisons supermarket used to be a lens manufacturer - Barr & Stroud?
