Everton are due to move into their new stadium in 2024. With a 52,000 capacity that sits on the River Mersey, it will bring new life to fans of one of the longest serving clubs in the Premier League.
But the area it’s being built, Bramley-Moore dock, has a troubling past that needs to be reflected upon and recgonised.
Written by Simon Hughes and illustrated by Philippe Fenner, we look at the history of John Bramley-Moore and the docks that the Toffees will call their new home.

Wipe out history that’s a good idea. Could these journalists get any more woke
The most cucked country in the world bends even further over.
If is that controversial then change the name of the stadium. It's not rocket science is it?
your tory bias is showing again, tifo
The whole of today's britian is built on the loot they stole from colonies.. so i don't understand why a special feature is needed on Bramley Moore Dock.. sadly most British people hardly know their own history.
This isn’t anything to do with football or Everton – as long as they don’t rename their stadium after him of course. You could go back thousands of years and I’m sure bad things have taken place in many areas where stadium have been built.
For what it’s worth I did enjoy learning the history from this video but don’t think it has a place here. I don’t know, maybe it’ll be balanced out with a video on Standard Chartered’s links to the Taliban…
Why has that dock not been renamed already? Everyone turning a blind eye to it?
The entire country is built off slavery and conquest.
Quality football content

Most popular: the beginning ❤
What an interesting and underrated kind of articles, great content go on
Nothing to do with Everton FC or football. Why wait for a football stadium to be built there before discussing this person?Trying to taint by the most tenuous connection. Now do a video of how Liverpool FC tried to blame others for the Heysal disaster before dragging every other English club down with them. Use the club chairman's actual words.
No, I didn't think so.
For god's sake get a life
BM & BMD’s history needs acknowledging and then we really have to move on. I for one can’t believe either of these names will be included in the eventual naming rights. Right now the club is referring to it as the Everton Stadium so it’s already moving the narrative. Let’s not forget Liverpool losing its heritage status included the new stadium build so the historical status of the site was deemed important despite its connections to BM.
EFC has already done a fantastic job of preserving the structure and the plans for the pump house and some of its infrastructure are well advanced. The museum has done a great job of acknowledging the history and links to slavery and I hope we (EFC), do something on a smaller scale at the old pump house site which is well underway to being fully restored.
I think it is absolutely fitting that the site is being repurposed for a football stadium which is so important to the city and it’s more acceptable history. A stadium for the people at the heart of a regenerated project to bring the entire area back into life for the people. Of course the already rich owners will get richer on the back of it but that is not as important as bringing new history and new life to the area.
The Dock should still be named after him but with a plaque explaining who he was or a monument to anti – slavery so the dark history is remembered and not repeated.
The stadium shouldn't be named after him though as the stadium has nothing to do with the man or the vile actions he allowed. Hopefully they can find a better name.
Past is past! move on.
Was about to subscribe. No thank you I don’t do woke
Unsubscribed because of this garbage
Seriously, who cares 😂. The world has moved on.
bit embarrassing that people are genuinely outraged by this. need to grow up.
Who was the person that went unnamed alongside John Bramley Moore?
It's being called everton stadium
