EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, capturing the grandeur of The New Bedford Picture House in Glasgow, Scotland. Standing proudly on Eglinton Street, this magnificent cinema was built in a remarkable 20 weeks after its predecessor, the Bedford Picture House, was tragically destroyed by fire earlier that year. Designed by architects Lennox and McMath, this architectural marvel boasted a seating capacity of 2,000 eager moviegoers. Its opening day on Monday, December 31st, 1932 at precisely 2:30 pm must have been an event filled with excitement and anticipation. The image transports us to a time when cinemas were not just places to watch films but also social hubs where people gathered for entertainment and escape from their daily lives. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can almost imagine the buzz of conversation and laughter that once filled these walls. The New Bedford Picture House played an integral role in Glasgow's cinematic landscape during the golden age of film. It served as a cultural hub for locals who sought solace or adventure within its ornate interiors. This photograph is not just a testament to architecture but also serves as a reminder of how cinema has always held immense power in shaping our collective memories. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints and Daily Record's preservation efforts through this print collection; we are granted glimpses into moments long gone yet forever etched in our shared heritage.
