Sounds a big project. From what you describe I would use a sharp spade to remove the maiin (not every) root of bramble and the top 6 inches of docks, then cover with a light-excluding mulch until next spring. Any compost you can spread before covering will make for a nicer surface to plant into next year, when there will still be bindweed to keep on top of, probably the weak remains of couch and g. elder too.
