the mersey river is dirty and bad for the enviroment and is suronded by factorys that polute it.
-- you might be suprised to learn that in fact the mersey river is the environment -- the Mersey is not that polluted in Stockport, there are brown trout in it RobChafer 20:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

The infobox says that the source elevation needs input. The Goyt page gives its mouth elevation as 40m, is that good enough (it has a ref although the page link does not work)?RobChafer 20:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mergers

I don't think the Mersey Estuary and Runcorn Gap articles are necessary: they both have a very small amount of content which could be described in context here. If there are no reasonable objections, I'll merge them. --RFBailey 22:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

It's been over a week, and no-one has objected, so I've carried out the merge. I've also removed the link to the Toxteth riots: the implication that these were related to water quality seems rather tenuous to me. --RFBailey 20:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

thisThe River Mersey is a river in North West England. It is 70 miles (112 km) long, stretching from Stockport, Greater Manchester, and ending at Liverpool Bay, Merseyside. For centuries, it formed part of the ancient county divide between Lancashire and Cheshire
