New Everton Stadium

The first big hurdle will be what they find and see in the hole when they pump the water out and then when they get the mud and crud out.
The thing might leak like a sieve - which wouldn't matter before, as it was just water leaking in and out of more water.

*puts on tony robinson hat - and who knows what archaeological finds lurk there as the result of clumsy sailors, dockers and Luftwaffe pilots.

Will be interesting. But it has been done in liverpool before. Obviously liverpool 1 is built on an old dock. The liver buildings cunard etc are were the mersey used to be. Not sure if there was an old dock there though. Prob will be a few dockers there who worked the late shift. 4 in the ship hold, 1 in the pub. Switch around after an hour. Some must of been steaming during thos night shifts

The location of the sewage works next to BMD, was that originally a Dock?

It certainly was. Checked on wikipedia. Loads of docks have been filled in with no problems from wikipedia


Liverpool's first dock was the world's first enclosed commercial dock, the Old Dock, built in 1715. The Lyver Pool, a tidal inlet in the narrows of the estuary, which is now largely under the Liverpool One shopping centre, was converted into the enclosed dock. Further docks were added and eventually all were interconnected by lock gates, extending 7.5 miles (12.1 km) along the Liverpool bank of the River Mersey. From 1830 onwards, most of the building stone was granite from Kirkmabreck near Creetown, Scotland.[1]

The interconnected dock system was the most advanced port system in the world. The docks enabled ship movements within the dock system 24 hours a day, isolated from the high River Mersey tides. Parts of the system are now a World Heritage Site.[2]

From 1885 the dock system was the hub of a hydraulic power network that stretched beyond the docks.

Most of the smaller south end docks were closed in 1971 with Brunswick Dock remaining until closure in 1975. Many docks have been filled in to create land for buildings: at the Pier Head, an arena at Kings Dock, commercial estates at Toxteth and Harrington Docks and housing at Herculaneum Dock. In the north, some branch docks have been filled in to create land. Sandon and Wellington Docks have been filled in and are now the location of a sewage works. Most of Hornby Dock was filled in to allow Gladstone Dock's coal terminal to expand.

Very roughly, anything west of the dock road is man-made and if there's buildings between the road and the river it used to be a wet dock.

Is that going to be moved or will it be staying there when the stadium is built.

Staying there fella, we won't be able to smell it, and it'll be better than living next to a an area purposely put into poverty and crime

How's this got along for your lot?

Liverpool microbrewery and cafe plan for boarded-up homes

A row of boarded-up houses in Liverpool could be turned into a microbrewery, new homes and a cafe.

In the planning application it says it's getting moved to Rockfield road to deal with the massive load of sh*t around there

It is but has had to be designed in a way not to interfere with the dock system or original dock wall.

The 3 Grace's is a better precedent. Not that Everton are planning on damaging the original dock structure.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Is this the week we will finally hear some planning news? Didn’t someone say they had to give a decision by June 3rd?

Carlo Ancelotti could bring Napoli's Allan to Everton for record £63m

The Copa America winner could add dynamism to the Toffees' midfield should Ancelotti meet his former club's reported £63 million asking price to take him to Goodison Park, according to reports in Italy.

If we paid anywhere near this it would be crazy. 20 million tops for me
