It later went to Star, and was on BIngo in 1970, when I became assistant manager there.

The cinema where the music shop stands was a completely different cinema called The Royal, about half a mile from The Rialto. Both had an address of St Georges Rd.

The Apollo was in a building next door to The Rialto. As of late 2015 the building had been cleaned up from the previous mess that it was, but was still firmly shuttered.

The Rialto was NOT demolished, it is still standing. These days it is a music shop – HW Audio. A great photo of the building is on their home page… https://www.hwaudio.co.uk

Leslie Halliwell in ‘Seats In All Parts’, page 314 describing his return to Bolton “in the 1980s” has this: “The Rialto had at some fairly recent date become the Apollo, but was now firmly shuttered”.
