Glenrothes cinema to reopen

Tuesday, 17 August 2010 20:02 |

This facebook page says that the cinema in Glenrothes is due to open again mid September under the name "Kino Cinema".

This photo album has over 100 pics of the cinema, which has been pretty much untouched for 12 years.

What do you do in the Town Centre in the evening?

Wednesday, 16 June 2010 17:25 |

I'm not really sure what the reason is, but the people at the Kingdom Shopping Centre are asking for your opinion on the town centre.

From their facebook:

"Picture Glenrothes - have your say on the future of Glenrothes town centre. Visit the link below to be part of Fife Council's online consultation and submit your views."

There's 3 pages of questions about how you use the town centre. Maybe if they get enough information from a lot of people they'll be able to get something other than card and phone shops and bakeries in there. Probably best not to ask for another Asda though.

Inside Glenrothes Cinema

Tuesday, 15 June 2010 23:33 |

Here's a compilation of recent pictures taken inside Glenrothes Cinema which closed it's doors in 1998. It's hardly been touched since. For some reason it's set to spooky music and there's a scary pic at the very end so be prepared!
