From 1965 till 2000 Bingo was a very popular pastime. In fact bingo is what kept the Fleetwood Pier alive, but when the bingo died so did the pier and now it is nothing but a smouldering wreck after a fire erupted on the pier. The Fleetwood pier has now been boarded up, pending the investigation regarding the cause of the fire. Arson has been suspected but the fire report will only tell.
