The River Mersey starts at the confluence of the Rivers Tame and Goyt in the town of Stockport, just south of Manchester*. A good place to find out more is www.riverthatchangedtheworld.com Once grossly polluted, the river has enjoyed a remarkable recovery over the last 20 years which the UN has hailed as an 'international inspiration'. The Tame and the Goyt meet right in the centre of Stockport, where the Mersey begins its roughly 70 mile journey to the sea by disappearing beneath the aptly named Merseyway shopping centre - an inauspicious start for one of the world's most famous rivers. Both the Tame and Goyt spring from the Pennine Hills of Derbyshire. The Goyt flows from the beautiful and distinctive peat upland of Kinder Scout and flows through a picturesque area known, appropriately, as the Goyt Valley. The Tame rises in Saddleworth, north of Stockport. From Stockport the Mersey flows out through the town centre to curve around the western edge of the city of Manchester, before joining the Manchester Ship Canal. After about 6km the river leaves the canal once more and flows across the county of Cheshire, notably through the town of Warrington, the ancient crossing point of the river. The river then continues to its large and unusually shaped estuary, and the city of Liverpool. The Mersey is strongly associated with the city, whose port made it the great trading centre of the British Empire. The city centre tumbles down to the river at the Pier Head, home to three stately Victorian buildings known locally as the Three Graces. Even today the Port of Liverpool is a key part of the region's economy. Although fewer people work there than in the past because of modernisation, it actually handles more tonnage per year than ever before. Finally, the Mersey flows out into Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea. * Of the many tributaries of The Mersey, the Tame and The Goyt are the longest. The circuitous routes of each make identifying the longest difficult. The source of the Tame is in Yorkshire, near White Hill, approximately one mile south of Junction 22 of the M62, a short way east of Readycon Reservoir. The Goyt springs from the Dark Peak moors of Derbyshire, approximately 0.5 miles south and slightly east of The Cat & Fiddle pub on the A 537, the main road between Macclesfield and Buxton. This road is itself usually called The Cat & Fiddle.
