Seremban Oldest Cinema: Golden City Cinema

This is one of my on-going The Heritage Trail blog post series. Read my disclaimer here first :D. This is article No. 6.

I am not 100% sure, but I think this is the oldest cinema in Seremban where most of the original building structure are still intact.

Since the day I could count my toes, Golden City Cinema (I think that's the name!) is no longer operational. It was taken over and turned into a furniture shop called Vincent.

Seremban oldest cinema. Golden City.

The walkway.

Nothing much I could tell you about the history of this cinema as I was not born yet during it's era. But visit at this place and take a closer look. One could almost imagine how it looks like back in its glorious days with the pigeon-holed ticketing counter still intact.

The ticketing counter that are still visible today.

Take a peek inside the furniture shop and you can still see the remnants of the cinema still intact. To me, I could almost imagine the excitement back in those days of the first-time cinema goers.

The original structure that are still intact. The screen use to be at the back where the florescent lights are.

My parents used to run a food stall at one of the restaurant at the same row with this old cinema. So this street has been my playground for couple of years. I remember back then in the late 80's next to this old cinema is a beer brewing factory. I can't see what inside the factory then, but I sure remember the stench of the beer steams that escapes from the drains man-hole everyday.

There used to be a beer factory next to the cinema. The building was demolish and now its an empty lot.

The beer factory was dismantled somewhere in the 90's, I think it's due to a fire. Now it's just an empty land.
