Camridge anarchist | 14.07.2009 14:35 | Free Spaces | Cambridge
Occupy Cambridge, a (rather brilliant) group of squatters, anarchists, revolutionists, land rights types and general social misfits, last night "reclaimed" the disused bingo hall on hobson street .
The building will now be used as a social centre of some kind, although this is very much a blank canvas.
It a large space and is kitted out well for film showings.
The building is the old bingo hall on hobson street cambridge.
Come down and visit.

History of the old Gala Bingo Building
14.07.2009 17:05
There was a cinema on the site of the old Gala Bingo Hall on Hobson Street from 1921 called The Central Cinema(it was rebuilt in 1930 to give the current building probably after a fire). The first talkie in Cambridge was screened at The Central Cinema in 1929 and that talkie was "The Broadway Melody"

By 1972 (this date is disputed), the then Odeon, was shut down and converted into a bingo hall.
