History of Culverting

- The MerseyWay

The street was incorporated into the Merseyway retail plaza in the 1960s, and many visitors are unaware that the river Mersey is flowing beneath their feet. The mall, in fact, rides a 500-meter length of the River Mersey as it passes through the heart of Stockport - with only nine crawls of concrete and a ten-meter drop separating customers and water. In 1935, Stockport council decided to build a bridge across the Mersey River that would relieve traffic on Chestergate and Princes Street. Despite the fact that the river was extremely polluted at the time and that part of it flowed between the backs of factories and warehouses, many people thought it was the right thing to do.
