Liverpool c 1910s Postcard - Shakespeare Theatre

Opened in 1888 with a seating capacity of around 3000, the Shakespeare, along with the Hippodrome, staged some of the best acts in the land. With the demise of popular theatre following the growth in popularity of television, it fell into disuse. It was demolished in 1976 following a fire.
