一間荒廢戰前戲院建於1931年,面積大概3萬幾平方呎。戲院服務街坊超過60年,直到1990年代初停止營業,已經荒廢近30年。2011年被評為香港三級歷史建築。
戲院樓高兩層,以中式折衷建築風格,用石磚与大石砌成。戲院大門入口上方有螺旋柱頭裝飾嘅簷篷,頂部有「XX戲院」四字,正門後面是售票大堂,上面2樓係放映室。戲院內原有逾600個座位,由於日久失修,只有幾十個仍可用,屋頂中間因風雨破壞有個大洞。
城市探索的原則是:除拍照外不取一物、不留痕跡和不公開地點。
An abandoned pre-war cinema, built in 1931, with an area of about 30,000 square feet, has served the neighbourhood for more than 60 years. It stopped operation in the early 1990s, and has been abandoned for nearly 30 years. In 2011, it was rated as a Grade III historical building.
The cinema is 2 storeys high and was built with bricks and large stones in a Chinese eclectic architectural style. Above the entrance is a decorated canopy with the name of the cinema. Behind entrance is the ticketing lobby with the projection room above on the first floor. There were originally over 600 seats in the cinema, but due to disrepair, only a few dozen are still standing. There is a gaping hole in the roof, damaged by wind and rain.
Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
