| == Evershed Cinema ==
| |
| === Description ===
| |
| A modest brick structure of moderate size, looking oddly much like a bar. If not for the traditional movie theater sign hanging outside, it would be mistaken for an entirely different kind of establishment.
| |
| | |
| === History ===
| |
| ==== Origins ====
| |
| The cinema was built in a joint collaboration between the Malton Cricket Club and the Derbyshire County Cricket Club in October 1939, in memory of Sir. Sydney Evershed, a wealthy brewer and former cricket player, who had died a few months earlier. He, along with his brothers Wallis, Edward and Frank Evershed, had for several years played for Derbyshire. In 1935, he donated a suspiciously large amount of money to the Malton City Council, as well as to the Malton Cricket Club.
| |
| | |
| The cinema, which along with [[Barwood Walk]] was named as a tribute to him, originally showed recordings of famous cricket matches. Eventually other sports, such as soccer and tennis, was added to the establishment's repertoar.
| |
| | |
| By 2005, the cinema had almost entirely left its origins, showing just about every genre available. It faced serious competition from the many local rivals, [[Wolters Cinema]] and [[Batt Cinema]] in particular. Of course, this rivalry quickly dissolved, as the zombie plague came into effect.
| |
| | |
| ==== Recent history ====
| |
| The cinema has since then been ransacked and ruined countless times, most notably during the many sieges of [[Tynte Mall]].
| |
| | |
| In 2010, Evershed Cinema was the location of several broadcasts from the [[Voice of Order]].
| |
| | |
| === Barricade Policy ===
| |
| The building is to be kept at Extremely Heavily Barricaded, due to its low strategical importance, as per the [[Pimbank Barricade Plan]].
