Operated as a bingo hall by Cascade Bingo, as shown in the gallery.
This was an early occasion when my dad took me for a treat to see him.
I visited here on one early occasion to see a comedy double bill of a famous cloth capped comedian in around 1966 or 7. It was so funny, and it warmed my heart. It had a yellow neon sign I remember. I would go when it was still called the continental. I remember it well.
