Talk:William Beresford Inglis

Cinemas
As created the article listed one of his cinemas as "The Vogue in Anniesland" with a link to Buildings of Cambuslang - though Anniesland is not the same place as Cambuslang. However, his entry here lists a cinema called "The Ritz" in Cambuslang (Is this the one which is now a bingo hall? Possibly called the Vogue, if my vague memory of Cambusland serves?), but nothing in Anniesland besides something called "Locomotive Factory". Is this a mistake, or is there a fifth cinema in Anniesland not listed on the Dictionary of Scottish Architects website? Iain99Balderdash and piffle 20:47, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure what is intended, but I removed the Buildings in Cambuslang link as it appears a bit misleading. It does however mention "the Boulevard/Vogue in Anniesland" as an Inglis design, as opposed to the "Boulevard in Knightswood" which this article mentions. Knightswood is near Anniesland, so maybe these are in fact the same one? Buildings in Cambuslang also talks about "The Ritz", saying it was demolished in 1960. When I get more time I'll check up on http://www.scottishcinemas.org.uk/ Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 14:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi folks - co-editor of www.scottishcinemas.org here - the Boulevard in Knightswood did indeed become the Vogue after it was sold to the Singletons, and it wasn't too far from Anniesland Cross, so suspect this is where the confusion lies. They are one and the same. Inglis was also the architect of the Ritz Cinema in Cambuslang, but that was always called Ritz and belonged to the ABC chain of cinemas. It was demolished in 1960. The Cambuslang Vogue was a different cinema, nothing to do with Inglis - that was designed by John Fairweather and was originally called the Savoy. It's still there, having recently been refurbished as a JD Wetherspoon pub named after its architect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.119.64.36 (talk) 17:41, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
