Overview
Odeon Anniesland was a cinema in the Anniesland district of Glasgow, Scotland, operating under the Odeon brand. It is no longer an active cinema: the building was demolished to make way for an apartment block, with only the original facade left standing as a remnant of the former picture house. The site therefore represents a common pattern in British cinema history, in which suburban Odeon cinemas were closed and their sites redeveloped for residential use while preserving a token architectural frontage. Because the venue is defunct and the surviving evidence is limited to a short descriptive record, details such as its opening date, architect, seating capacity, and exact closure date are not established here. The Odeon name itself belongs to a major UK cinema chain, but Odeon Anniesland is documented as a specific former cinema location rather than as a currently trading brand asset.
History
Odeon Anniesland was a cinema in the Anniesland area of Glasgow, Scotland, that operated under the Odeon name. At some point the cinema ceased operation and the building was demolished. The site was redeveloped as an apartment block, and only the facade of the former cinema was retained. This left the Odeon Anniesland as a defunct cinema whose physical presence is reduced to a preserved frontage attached to a residential development. The available evidence does not record the cinema's opening year, its architectural style, its operator history beyond the Odeon branding, or the precise date of closure and demolition. It is therefore documented here as a former cinema site rather than as a continuing commercial brand operation.
