History of Heaton Mersey
Heaton Mersey takes its name from its position adjacent to the River Mersey and was historically part of the Heaton Norris township predating the 1974 metropolitan county boundary changes. The area developed in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods as prosperous merchants and professionals sought suburban retreats from Stockport and Manchester. The Mersey Valley along the western boundary preserved Heaton Mersey's distinct suburban character.
