Glasgow Road Looking East

Glasgow Road Looking East with what used to be the Broadway Cinema on the left.

The Broadway Cinema in Glasgow Road opened in 1939, and for a time it was feared that it would be requisitioned for the war effort. The first film it showed was 'The Dawn Patrol', starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone. Instead of being turned into a Bingo Hall, the Broadway was demolished and a modern two storey building for Blantyre's Housing department built on its site. The building is now the home of Blantyre Credit Union.
