Nairobi, 1960s

The photo was taken from the just constructed Ambassadeur Hotel in Nairobi
Can you see the cinema??

see photo on the far left towards the end of the parking lot .You can see the sign 20th Century shown perpendicularly!! Next to is the lighted sign showing which film was showing. 20th Century Cinema was on Queensway Road. This was later changed to Mama Ngina Street. In those days you could park your car across the street in the large outdoor parking lot before Hilton hotel was built in 1969!
