Seating capacity: one screen 947+452 = 1,399

Address: 94 Yen Chow Street, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong.  Golden Centre is the current occupant at the site.  The former occupant at the site was a manufacturing shop called 南針製造廠.  This Chinese sign facing Yen Chow Street always caught my eyes whenever I came out of Tak Ching Primary School in the early 1950s, fairly quiet street then.

Golden Theatre operated during the period November 30, 1962 - November 30, 1991.
