Description
The Princess Bingo and Social Club, located at 20-24 Princes Drive in Colwyn Bay, is a 2-storey building constructed from plain printed brick with a rendered facade. The structure features three bays, with a prominent central section. A glass canopy supported by cast iron columns with ornamental rackets extends over the ground floor. The central entrance has been renewed, as has the shop front to the right. Above the canopy, the central block is decorated with sunk coupled lotus leaf pilasters that flank the low-set first-floor windows, which are set within a panel surrounded by roughcast render. The building is topped with a splayed fluted cornice and a blocking course featuring an eagle in low relief. The outer bays contain paired tall windows set in roughcast rendered panels.
Inside, the original Art Deco interior remains largely intact, featuring an auditorium with a rear gallery and stage. The walls are highlighted by ribbed pilasters, and there are Deco grills over the side doors. The fluted columns supporting the gallery have Neo-Egyptian capitals. The ceiling is adorned with scrolled ribbed beams. Some original doors leading to the auditorium and the former bar still exist, showcasing stepped grids of glazing, along with original ceiling and wall lights in the auditorium.
