Gilmorehill Centre




Gilmorehill Parish Church was designed by architect James Sellars in 1878, as the Anderston Free Church. Located at the foot of University Avenue, it was built in a Normandy Gothic style. It was acquired by the University of Glasgow in 1963 and converted into an examination hall.

In the 1990s the church was converted again, to become the Gilmorehill Centre. The state-of-the-art Department of Theatre Film and Television Studies is housed there, with a theatre and cinema open to the public.

St Mungos

















 St Mungo's Pearson Street Townhead, the church was built in 1841 by the architect  George Goldie, modifications to the church were made in 1877,

The church was lucky to miss the slum clearances that took place in Townhead during the 50s and 60s.

The style of the church is Gothic Revival, the tower was never completed  and it does detract from the overall look of the church. The statue of Christ on the cross on the outside of the building is very striking.
