Instead, he’s taken the reins of Ale Hub, a micro pub located on Kingswinford’s bustling Market Street, and breathed new life into the business. Under its previous owners, Ale Hub faced tough times and ultimately closed because it wasn’t profitable. Having worked at the pub part-time, Peter and his partner Li Wan, 58, saw potential and made an offer to take over the lease.https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/mecca-bingo-to-close-historic-birmingham-venue-after-nearly-90-years/Wed, 13 May 2026 04:30:00 +0000https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/mecca-bingo-to-close-historic-birmingham-venue-after-nearly-90-years/A beloved leisure landmark in Birmingham is set to close its doors for good. Mecca Bingo, located on Kettlehouse Road in Kingstanding, will cease operations in early June, marking the end of an era for the community. Housed within the striking Art Deco building that once served as the Odeon Cinema, the venue has a rich history dating back to its opening in July 1935. Originally designed by architects Harry Weedon and Cecil Clavering, the cinema closed in 1962 before transitioning into a bingo hall under the Top Rank brand, later becoming part of Mecca Bingo’s network.
