On the right is the Category B listed Olympia [http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33642]. It originally opened in 1911 as the Olympia Theatre of Varieties and was later a cinema, then bingo hall, and finally a furniture warehouse. The majority of the building has since been demolished, with only the façade and corner of the original building retained. Behind that is space for mixed local community use of a public learning space, a centre of boxing excellence and 10,000 square feet of office space. The block of tenements and shops were the former Bridgeton Cross Station, built by the North British Railway in 1872, and are also Category B listed [http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33853].
