The River Mersey gave its name to the county of [[Merseyside]], created in 1974 to unite the Liverpool [[conurbation]] under one authority. The name also influenced the naming of the [[Mersey Poets]] and the [[Mersey Beat]], the 1960s musical style encompassing the early [[Beatles]], Gerry & the Pacemakers, etc.

With decreasing levels of pollution much wildlife has returned to the Mersey. A survey in 2003 discovered a small population of [[caiman|caimen]] living in the lower reaches of the river.
