This section contains a series of photosets from our history section featuring galleries of some beautiful bingo halls. Each page is not only a set of images, but takes us through the journey of each club, from their beginnings, usually as cinemas and theatres and on to their life as bingo clubs. Fans of bingo and cinema architecture will note that much attention has been paid the club's details and special features.
If you have photos of the UK's bingo clubs that would fit in here, we'd love to hear from you - contact us here and we'll give you details on how to send us your photos.
