Shortly after its birth from the conjunction of the rivers Goyt and Tame, the river Mersey passes under Knightsbridge (from which this photograph was taken).
Below the weir it used to pass under Lancashire Bridge but in the 1960s the Merseyway Shopping Centre was built over the river. It emerges from the culvert at the Bear Pit.

The Mersey and Knightsbridge featured in a novel I read a while ago - "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. Interesting to make a connection with reality today!
