Horden’s Carlton Bingo closed in February 2013 due to falling attendance. The smoking ban and the rise of online bingo have been blamed for the halls demise, which had seen player numbers fall to only 80 a week, making the business infeasible. The club had been going for 50 years, having been taken over by Carlton Bingo in the nineties from Fairworld.
If you have any further details that may assist us, and you would like to share them with our readers, we would love to hear from you. If you let us know what you know, we will put the details online with your name credited (if you wish, or we can credit the article as anonymous). You will be doing a service to the bingo community and posterity by helping us record details of all Britain’s bingo clubs and halls. Thank you.
