Current condition:
Demolished / No longer exists
Date Place completed:
c.1949-01-01 (Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished:
c.1974-03-01 (Day is approximate)
Key dates from Raymond Lo via Cinema Treasures:
- 1949: Roxy Theatre opened.
- 1974: Last film shown on 1st Feb, then the building was demolished in March.
The current building is named 'Lok Sing Centre'. I guess the Cantonese 'Lok Sing' is the sound-alike for 'Roxy'.

80s Kid - An interesting photo. Particularly with the tram turning the corner to join, I think, Hennessy Road. I guess the photo was taken at the junction of Canal Road East and Hennessy Road.
