Read our privacy policy Work has finally begun on Everton’s new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock with the club reiterating its commitment to preserving the city’s history. “Our commitment to bringing the dock’s heritage features to life has not changed and we will be investing more than £55m to preserve, restore and celebrate the heritage assets at Bramley-Moore Dock. “Once construction is complete we will be opening the inaccessible site up to the public for the first time in decades – allowing people to appreciate its heritage.” The hydraulic tower will be turned into a visitor centre, while cobbles, mooring posts, dock walls, railway lines and a connecting water channel will be retained. “There will be no public access through the gates at Bramley-Moore Dock and the health and safety of everyone on-site is a priority.” The first stage of the project will be enabling works to prepare the dock for the build and although the club plan to formally break ground on the eastern part of the site in early August demolition of non-listed structures and infilling of the dock are still some weeks away.
