Ardmay Crescent

The Beechwood Tavern

November 9, 2016 by John Gorevan 1 Comment

154-164 Ardmay Crescent, Kinning Park, Glasgow. G44 4PP. Tel: 0141 632 5476.

Beechwood Tavern. 1991.

The Beechwood Tavern. 2018.

In the 1970s The Beechwood was owned by Drybrough’s brewery and managed by Pat Harkins who’s daughter married Celtic footballer Kenny Dalgleish.

Pat went on to open the New Orleans, Mill Street in Rutherglen in conjunction with Tony Queen a successful bookmaker.

Facts…

The Florida picture house opened on 31 Dec 1931. It was sold to Gaumont in
1938 and renamed The Gaumont in April 1950. As a wee boy I remember going
there with my big brother on Saturday mornings. I was a very wee boy, as
The Gaumont closed in January 1957 and I turned 5 that same month. The
Gaumont lay empty and became rather derelict. I can remember however
playing on the metal handrails outside, and venturing inside via the (by
now) insecure back door and having a prowl around. But then it was
demolished, and the Beechwood built on the site.

Thank’s to Tich Keltie for his email.

John Barras Pub chain now own it.
