Mecca Bingo Background And History
Mecca Bingo’s Southampton Club in Portswood was closed due to the building being sold by it’s owners Rank, to an unnamed concern who offered them an unsolicited bid, for an undisclosed amount. All a bit mysterious, but, we do know is that the offer was made by a church, and the premises will serve as a place of worship.
This must have come as a blow to the local community, as there were over thirty thousand members listed, the club having operated for over forty years as a bingo hall after it’s takeover from a cinema in 1967.
Rank have said that they would like to open up a larger bingo hall in the area in the future, and if they do, we’ll let you know of the details.
Date Of Club Closure: 4th May 2011
