gala bingo

Built on the site of the famous Belle Vue entertainment park that was demolished in the 80's in the District of Gorton, who had Myra Hindley and Ian Brady as it's most famous residents. Yes, times have changed for the better but there are still wide open spaces remaining undeveloped. One spot...

As this already made it round, as its being bored up ( Inside and outside as they are also boring up the doors from the inside & On other urbex forms via different people ) i post my report post my report. I have known about the bingo hall ever since it closed down in 2020, and I have always...

The site originally housed a coral social club before it was turned into a Gala Bingo hall, which was part of a well-known chain of bingo clubs across the UK. Over time, the venue fell out of use and closed, likely due to a combination of factors such as changing entertainment preferences and...

Intro So this one I have been holding back for sometime; a decision I made in a vain attempt to try to provide some protection to the building (despite being posted in other places since my visit). Buckinghamshire Council have a proud and rich heritage of erasing and destroying its historical...

January 2024 The Visit Visited with @stranton and @coolboyslim, we didn't really know what to expect with this one having only seen a few reports from several years ago. I managed too find some chatter online that the building had been stripped for conversion into a restaurant, as we were in...

History Ive done lots of research and cant find much on Gala at all. From other reports on this place and little info I've found a couple of bits, The bingo hall closed on 9th March 2007 we noticed this inside as there was lots of flyers saying last show or something similar.The main fact of why...

History on this place is as rare as rocking horse shit by the looks of it. From what i can find on the internet, the bingo hall closed on 9th March 2007 and the main fact of why it closed was because of the introduction of the smoking ban in confined places like pubs, clubs & restaurants etc...

This Grade II listed building operated as a cinema from 1932 until 1976, and a Gala bingo hall from 1991 until 2010 since when it has been abandoned. All the seats are gone and the entire ground floor has been reduced to rubble for works which seem to have been discontinued. However you still...

Visited with Catullus. I've been walking/driving past this place for the last 13 years, so it was about time I took a look inside. Luckily we found the main power switch, and so all the lights came on. We had a comedy moment on the roof watching 2 guys on a nearby roof (who'd locked...

Met up with a few fellow explorers and hit the tourist trail! After picking the glass splinters out of my hand, we were in! Your caller tonight...... Not much left of the projection room, unfortunately. :( All the original seating is still in place on the...

Having seen the pictures from other people I couldn't wait to see it for myself! It is quite amazing being in there, it doesn't seem like it has been empty long, not much dust has settled although it does have some patchy damp areas. All the lights work, I found the bingo screen switch panel...

Solo visit whilst at work today...:thumb Been wanting to get in here for a LONG time now, and finally today I saw my opening. Pikies have been in by all accounts and stripped a lot of cabling, and pipework, thus flooding the cellar. Quite a lot remains of the places former use as a...
