Description

A look at the River Mersey and its tributaries, beginning at the Fernilee and Errwood reservoirs. A voice-over describes the River Goyt's course through Whaley Bridge and Marple, featuring the railway viaducts en route. After the Goyt merges with the Etherow and the Tame, there are scenes from Stockport town centre where the Mersey runs under a railway viaduct and then underground. Ends with views of the countryside beyond Stockport and a description of the Mersey Valley Reclamation Scheme.
