Pioneer Building (2nd Generation) [1969-1990]

I think the photo shows the Pioneer Centre (2nd generation) in the 1980s.  As I do not know its start date, nor the demolition date, so I am unable to create a "place" for that building (which includes a shopping plaza).  Suggestions are welcome.

Empress Theatre was facing Nullah Road.  Royal Theatre was at j/o Nathan Road and Bute Street (ie it was on the northern side of Bute Street).  It had two entrances; one at Nathan Road and the other at Bute Street.   Perhaps someone will like to show them in an old map of Mongkok.

Photo shows the Royal Theatre at j/o Nathan Road and Bute Street.  To its north, is the former KMB Hqs building (with flag post), which is also known as Pioneer Building.   When KMB Hq (Pioneer Building) was demolished, Empress Theatre and Pioneer Centre (2nd generation) was built on that site.  The present Pioneer Centre (3rd generation) sits on the combined sites of these two former theatres.

Film "Mutiny on the Bounty" is seen showing (on 6 May 1963) in Royal Theatre.
