I remember a goulish story about the building of the Rio. A friend of my dad recalls that when they were laying the foundations for the cinema, the contractors were continually discovering bones from the Trinity Church graveyard which over the years had moved under the road.

I think an old Londoner, Mr. Jim Kinlay built the Rio Cinema.. does anyone know if this is correct...

It is a pity that there are no photographs of the Rio in it's hey-day when it was resplendent as the Island's premier cinema and dominated the view along the Broadway. But perhaps these shots of it's lingering death just serve to better remind us of what we have lost.
