The River Mersey now starts in Stockport, at the confluence of the Goyt and Tame. It is marked by a sculpture- The River of Life- which is hard against the M60 motorway which makes photography a challenge.

<dd>Here Rivers Goyt and Tame become Mersey</dd>

From the bridge on Howard Street- the last on the Goyt- over the wier into the Mersey.
