Is cheshire in Manchester?
Yes, Yes is it Cheshire is a county in the North West of England and the County Town in Chester. It is bordered by Greater Manchester, but not in it ~ I know this sounds strange but at least one place (Stockport) is within the historic boundaries of the county of Cheshire, even the postal address is still Cheshire, but it is now part of Greater Manchester. Even stranger, within living memory, although Stockport was supposedly in Cheshire the parts of Stockport on the northerly side of the River Mersey were officially and historically in Lancashire. (the same as Manchester was)

Where does the river Mersey flow threw?
The River Mersey starts at the confluence of the Rivers Tame and Goyt in the town of Stockport, just south of Manchester*. A good place to find out more is www.riverthatchangedtheworld.com Once grossly polluted, the river has enjoyed a remarkable recovery over the last 20 years which the UN has hailed as an 'international inspiration'. The Tame and the Goyt meet right in the centre of Stockport, where the Mersey begins its roughly 70 mile journey to the sea by disappearing beneath the aptly named Merseyway shopping centre - an inauspicious start for one of the world's most famous rivers. Both the Tame and Goyt spring from the Pennine Hills of Derbyshire. The Goyt flows from the beautiful and distinctive peat upland of Kinder Scout and flows through a picturesque area known, appropriately, as the Goyt Valley. The Tame rises in Saddleworth, north of Stockport. From Stockport the Mersey flows out through the town centre to curve around the western edge of the city of Manchester, before joining the Manchester Ship Canal. After about 6km the river leaves the canal once more and flows across the county of Cheshire, notably through the town of Warrington, the ancient crossing point of the river. The river then continues to its large and unusually shaped estuary, and the city of Liverpool. The Mersey is strongly associated with the city, whose port made it the great trading centre of the British Empire. The city centre tumbles down to the river at the Pier Head, home to three stately Victorian buildings known locally as the Three Graces. Even today the Port of Liverpool is a key part of the region's economy. Although fewer people work there than in the past because of modernisation, it actually handles more tonnage per year than ever before. Finally, the Mersey flows out into Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea. * Of the many tributaries of The Mersey, the Tame and The Goyt are the longest. The circuitous routes of each make identifying the longest difficult. The source of the Tame is in Yorkshire, near White Hill, approximately one mile south of Junction 22 of the M62, a short way east of Readycon Reservoir. The Goyt springs from the Dark Peak moors of Derbyshire, approximately 0.5 miles south and slightly east of The Cat & Fiddle pub on the A 537, the main road between Macclesfield and Buxton. This road is itself usually called The Cat & Fiddle.
Is Bury in Lancashire?
Bury is in Greater Manchester in the old county of Lancashire. Greater Manchester has existed since 1974. Unlike Merseyside, Greater Manchester was never adopted as a postal address. It is similar to say Croydon, Surrey. Croydon IS in Greater London and not in the county of Surrey for purposes of administration. In the south of Greater Manchester it is possible to have a "Cheshire" address (eg Stockport, Altrincham). Bury is one of the ten districts making up Greater Manchester and includes the town of Bury, Ramsbottom, Tottington, Radcliffe, Whitefield and Prestwich. Coming from Manchester city centre you cross the boundary into the borough just a few miles up the road. Prestwich, Whitefield and Radcliffe do have Manchester post codes. The rest of the borough has BL codes (Bolton). The short answer therefore is yes, Bury is in Lancashire. "Greater Manchester" is just a concept that has been used for administrative purposes. Croydon remains in the county of Surrey.
