The club did used to be the Essoldo, a cinema which opened in 1936 under the name the Regal. With 1668 seats, it was quite a large cinema for the population, so it must have had quite a lot of travelling visitors. The original exterior tiling appears to be in a good state of repair, and as you can see from the photos below, the building had and still has some interesting internal features. Cinema screenings stopped in the 1960s and the premises have hosted bingo ever since. If you have any further details we’d like to hear from you, so please contact us. We would love to hear from you if you can help us with these and any other details and interesting facts about this club.
