To celebrate its 40th birthday, the Gateacre Society decided to create a Time Capsule containing information about present-day Gateacre. Aldi Stores Ltd provided a site within the landscaped area of their new store in Gateacre Park Drive - the major local construction project of 2014 - along with a plaque as a permanent reminder of the event. The Time Capsule was installed in early June. The plaque was unveiled at 7.30 a.m. on Thursday 19th June 2014 by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Erica Kemp. At 8 a.m. she went on to open the new supermarket.

The 2014 Time Capsule contains the following items:

Local daily and weekly newspapers: Liverpool Echo 1 June 2014 and Merseymart 27 May 2014.
Local bi-monthly magazine: The Gateacre Journal, June/July 2014.
