Can anyone help me settle a debate that has been raging through my place of work for some time???
The history of Mecca Bingo club Queens Road.

I know it used to be a bowling alley and a cinema, and before that a tram shed???

But was it ever a TB clinic???

Everyone at work says it was, and that is why we have ghosts (yeah right!!!!! distinct lack of ectoplasm I think you'll find!!!) my dad strongly disagrees! after all why put a TB clinic near the centre of town, surely it would be out of the way to lower risk of contamination???

Can anyone help me settle this debate? preferably with some facts to back it up :thumbsup:
