in and around.
Just the name alone evokes more then a little thrill for me, The Majestic. Built in 1928 as a Theatre by Eu Tong Sen and was known Tien Yien Moh Toi Theatre till 1938 when it was renamed Queens Theatre by the Shaw brothers who also converted it into a cinema. At the end of the war The Majestic Film Company took over and gave it its current name. Its now a shopping mall.
Like some kind of alien space craft plonked in the middle of china town/duxton The Pinnacle at Duxton seems to tower over everything in its shadow. Its really difficult to take pictures without this complex of buildings stepping into the frame like an uninvited guest. It is a dominating presence in the area. I have yet to decide if I like the complex or not, judgement will be withheld.
Below are pictures of the now abandoned Yan Kit Swimming Pool, its not that old really opened in 1952 and closed in 2001. This is a place i really want to get into. akan datang.
