BERMONDSEY, SE16 · OPENED 4 AUGUST 1993
The New Den
Millwall’s sixth permanent home, and the first new all-seater stadium built in England following the Taylor Report. Four grounds on the Isle of Dogs were followed by The Den in 1910 and The New Den in 1993.
1910 · THE CROSSING
From the Isle of Dogs to New Cross
Workers at Morton’s food factory founded Millwall Rovers in 1885. Dockworkers were central to its supporter base. The club had four permanent homes on the Isle of Dogs between 1885 and 1910.
Three moves linked those island grounds; the fourth took the club across the Thames to New Cross in 1910. The move to The New Den came in 1993. The district of Millwall and the Isle of Dogs are not interchangeable names: leaving the island in 1910 did not mean every earlier ground lay in that district.
