St Bede's Social Club
- Built
- The former St Bede's school building, vacated when the new school on Wigton Road opened in 1962
- Gone
- Closing date not established; shut for three months in 2009 over rowdy behaviour
- There now
- Not established
- Where exactly
- On Wigton Road. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the street, not the building.
The old St Bede's school building, vacated when the new school on Wigton Road opened in 1962, reopened the following year as a licensed club run by the Carlisle Young Men's Society. It was closed for three months in 2009 after trouble with rowdy behaviour, reported at the time in the Cumberland News. Carlisle's licensing register carries a St Bede's Hall at 120 Wigton Road, which may be the same premises.

Open question
An unsolved mystery
Is St Bede's Hall at 120 Wigton Road, on today's licensing register, the same premises as the St Bede's Social Club of 1963?
If you know the answer, or where it might be found (an old photograph, a family story, a document), tell us and it goes into the story above.
