The Rialto and Clifton cinemas in York were once owned and run by Jack Prendergast, father of film composer, John Barry.

Sadly noting remains of this impressive super cinema. It was demolished in June and the site is now a car park for the bingo hall next door.

Demolition begins on 7th of April 2003, as the new bingo hall is now open next door. The site will become a car park. The building has been heavily altered inside for bingo but retained the huge proscenium and original seating in the circle.
