New Bedford Cinema, Art Deco cinema building on Eglinton Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The New Bedford Cinema features a grand auditorium space that accommodated 2300 people during its operation as a movie theater from 1932 to 1973.
Following a fire in March 1932, architects Lennox and McMath designed a new structure that opened on December 26, 1932, under Bernard Frutin's ownership.
After decades of cinema screenings, the venue transformed into a bingo hall before becoming the O2 Academy Glasgow, a major concert venue.
Located at 117 Eglinton Street in the Gorbals area, this B-listed building maintains its original interior features while serving as a modern entertainment venue.
The building began its life as the Eglinton Street United Secession Church in 1825 before its transformation into an entertainment venue in 1921.
