Anfield Split - The Move to Goodison

Over at Goodison work on Everton's new ground on the Mere Green Field gathered pace. The minute books record that a company called Kelly Brothers was employed to carry out much of the building. On 2 May 1892 the Committee agreed that Kelly Brothers would level the ground, lay water pipes and erect new hoardings at a cost of £479.00. The Company obviously did a good job - in 1894 Benjamin Kelly became an Everton director.
