In pictures: The Everyman Theatre
Flowers among the rubble on Hope Street
The last performance at the old Everyman Theatre may or may not have been given an ovation with boughs and posies thrown onto the stage, but there was still time this weekend for an anonymous dedication to show that it is not forgotten.
Here a simple bunch of roses is left tied to the fencing of what is now an almost completed demolition of the old Hope Hall, save for the front doorsteps.
The project is part of a multi-million pound redevelopment of which will eventually see a highly anticipated, brand new theatre on Hope Street.

That is so sad
Oh dear. Remind me not to go beyond the Philharmonic pub for a while. Painful.
I find that genuinely heart-breaking to look at. Those steps... x x
I know that it was only a building but it was also a big chunk of my life. It's only marginally less sad than I imagine I'd feel if I saw my house like this.
I see it's all been covered in hoardings now
i got such a shock when i drove past the other day! i had NO idea it was being pulled down! so may memories!
The hordings have been up several times in the theatres evolution so I am looking forward to the new Incarnation. Peoples passion for the theatre is wonderful but clearly not sufficient to prevent it from closing down in the 1990s. I have really enjoyed seeing work there over the last few years but recognised the need for change, it really was falling down. Lilian has fond memories I have no doubt but memories will not keep a theatre alive for the future generation and I suspect she has lost touch with the venue to such an extent that its rebuild was a surprise.
Hey the site would make a most welcome car park for a couple of years.
Do you work for the Maghull Group, Anonymous?
How can an inanimate object like a theatre "evolve"? Evolution only affects living organisms and only then over many, many successive generations.
If you mean knocking it down and building another one one which will disappoint then say so.
The Everyman was a collective of like minded people who came together to explore,write,perform and to share their passion for Theatre. As long of those charged with looking after the Everyman - at this moment in time have the same desires and Spirit - The Everyman will be fine.
