The River Mersey runs for 70 miles from Stockport, Greater
Manchester to Liverpool Bay on Merseyside. Throughout history it
marked the ancient county divide between Lancashire and
Cheshire.
Beyond Runcorn the river widens into a three mile wide estuary
at Ellesmere Port before turning north. At this point Liverpool
lies to the east bank and the Wirral Peninsula is to the west. The
Manchester Ship Canal and the Mersey meet at Eastham Locks where
the canal enters the Mersey and terminates. The estuary narrows as
it flows between Liverpool and Birkenhead before flowing into
Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea. To complete this cache you have to
