We have a number of pictures in our archive that we're not sure about. Can you help us in our project to create an archive of old bingo halls on the internet? If you do recognise any of the clubs below, please contact us, and let us know what you know about the club. We're looking for information on who run them, what they were called and where they were located. What info we have about these photographs is listed below them.
We'll be very grateful and will ensure that you are credited with providing the knowledge or any photos. You will also be helping to ensure that while many UK bingo halls are gone, they are certainly not forgotten. If you enjoy these photos, then you'll find more bingo hall photographs in both the Lost Bingo Halls and Bingo History sections of the site.
