Still open in the mid-1980s. Some of the traces are wiped by the mid-1990s, but almost everything is still intact. As of 2026, the screen still stands in great condition, and a hint of its fading traces can also be seen.

Still intact in the 1980s but I cannot tell its condition judging by a 1983 aerial.

Still visible in the 1974 aerial view, and into the early-1980s but I cannot tell its condition by that time. Traces remained intact into the mid-1980s despite being closed.
