Designed by noted cinema architect Eric Norman Bailey of Maidenhead, the Palace remains virtually untouched in its current use as a bingo hall.

Note the marks at the top of the facade where the lettering used to be.
I used to attend bingo here in the early 70’s with my dad they used to have the organ played between bingo sessions. At one point I think they had a second organ installed. Some parts of the projection equipment were still in place but the picture heads and lamphouses had been removed(Kalee).
1971 On Camera: Organs No. 1 http://www.eafa.org.uk/catalogue/5092 The organ at the Palace Bingo is about 6min in.
The bingo operation here closed a while back, didn’t it?
