This page, for simplicity, discusses two theatres because they occupied essentially the same space in the building but operated in different periods.  They had slightly different addresses.

The Aberdeen Theatre was located at 17-19 Nam Ning Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, and had a seating capacity of 859.  It opened to business on January 22, 1982 and closed sometime in 1994.

Pei Ho Theatre / 北河戲院 [1934-1977]

Submitted by OldTimer on Sat, 2017-01-14 05:01
Date Place completed: 
1934-01-24
Date Place demolished: 
1977-03-28

Seating Capacity 1,476.  Address: 114 Pei Ho Street, Shum Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong.  It is noted that one block south of the former theatre is Pei Ho Building which might give the impression that the former theatre was located there.  I have placed the location at the correct spot which agrees with the red dot in the 1956 map.
