About

Heaton Mersey is a residential suburb situated directly south of the River Mersey, which forms its northern boundary with Manchester. The area is characterised by a mix of interwar and post-war semi-detached and detached housing, alongside some modern developments. Its layout includes several established local parks and green spaces that provide recreational areas for residents. The district is served by its own railway station offering connections into central Stockport and Manchester.

A notable local landmark is the former Heaton Mersey Paper Mill site, a reminder of the area's industrial heritage. The extensive Mersey Vale Nature Park follows the riverbank, featuring wetlands and meadows. Daily life centres on local shops and services along Didsbury Road and around the precinct near the station. The area maintains a distinct community identity separate from the neighbouring Heatons.
