Continued from Masjid (Mosque of) Kampung Gunung Semanggol. Next we went to Taiping but arrived at night, stopped by a while at the old mosque which is situated in the middle of town. Looking at the pictures did only I realised I've never highlighted the said mosque in this blogspot. So let an article be made using a combination of old and new pictures. Come.

Saya juga baru menyedari tidak banyak mengambil gambar masjid ini walaupun sudah banyak kali singgah malah bermalam di sana. Diharap sedikit yang ada cukup untuk menunjukkan keadaan masjid lama ini.

I also realised that I haven't taken much pictures of this mosque although I've stopped by many times in fact spent nights there. Hopefully whatever little available is enough to show the condition of this old mosque.
