Looking across Hope Street towards the 'old' Everyman Theatre, which was about to be demolished to make way for the new one. Over a period of 20 weeks the theatre was carefully deconstructed, brick by brick, so that as many as possible could be reused in the new theatre. Liverpool-based demolition experts Sloyan Doyle took the old theatre apart, officially handing over the cleared site to the builders Gilbert-Ash on the 28th November 2011. The painstaking approach to the project turned out to be completely worthwhile as it was announced on the 16th October 2014 that the new theatre had won the prestigious Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize, the world's most prestigious architecture prize, for the best new building of the year. http://www.everymanplayhouse.com/
