Artist recreates The Rialto cinema experience in Leytonstone

Gary Lewis paid tribute to a historic cinema where his parents had their first date – and he is just one of many people who saw the Leytonstone Picture Palace recreated. The cinema – also known as The Rialto – opened in 1911 and became a fixture of the High Road for more than 60 years before it closed in 1974. It was demolished two years later. Earlier this month, it was recreated in an exhibition by Walthamstow artist Dominic Stinton.
