Morning all,
Yesterday I spent a bit of time looking around the old Cinema/Bingo Hall in Goole.
The first thing that struck me as I walked through the entrance door was the smell of stale smoke - the very thing that killed off the bingo for good.
Not much remains in terms of the Cinema, other than the very fabric of the building, although as you can see from the photos, two old projectors lay on the floor, and a stash of empty reels in a store upstairs. There are also a few rows of the old seats left, which considering they have not been used since the late 70's, are in very good condition. The owner told me he had sold some of them off.
The thing that hit me most was the number of posters and leaflets dotted around the place saying, "Stop Destroying My Bingo".
Failed.
All of the decent pictures are here:

Plus a selection here.
A return visit is possible, so I may sort something if enough people show any interest. The place is likely to be raised to the ground at some point, and we were told that we could take anything we could carry, so if you have a bingo card fetish, I'm your man
Cheers
