Golden Valley Theatre / 金茂坪戲院 [1978-1992]

Submitted by OldTimer on Sat, 2017-01-21 07:45
Date Place completed: 
1978-10-19
Date Place demolished: 
1992-02-01

Seating capacity: 1,320

Address: Hiu Kwong Street and Sau Mau Ping Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Update January 5, 2019 location marker - on west side of Hiu Kwong Street marked Fu Wah Court on 2016 Google map.  Like the rock cut across the street, it refuses to move.  Some day the theatre will be gone, so for someone (like me) who wants to rewalk the past, it is about 12 steps from the road curb, and there is a walk-lane about 15 steps wide separating it and the Hiu Kwong/Hiu Ming Court.
