Situated in Oxford Street, it is named "The Peter Cushing" after the late actor who lived locally. The building itself was once the "Oxford" cinema, designed in the Art Deco style, by a local architect W.M. Bishop and opened on 27th July 1936 with Jack Hulbert in “Jack Of All Trades”. Part-time bingo was introduced in 1962 and films ceased on 4th October 1984. The building was used as an independently operated full time Bingo Club for many years but closed in the summer of 2010. It is now part of the J. D. Wetherspoon chain which opened on 23rd August 2011 as the Peter Cushing.
