This time last year Everton’s new Bramley Moore Dock stadium was nothing more than a singular concrete structure emerging from the ground, but 12 months later the development has become a commanding presence on the banks of the Mersey.
A clear shape of the stadium is a new addition to the city skyline as large parts of the enormous structure have been lifted into place. In December 2021, engineers had just completed the arduous process of the dock infill which required almost half a million cubic metres of sand collected from the Irish Sea.
The first over-ground concrete panel went into the ground a few weeks later and marked a significant milestone for the club. A year later all four corners of the stadium have been built as well as all of the substructures.
