Wonderful!
And I’m glad to see you using ‘feet’ and ‘yards’.
Funny actually Cherry, I was watching Michael Portillo crossing this viaduct on his program, only the other evening. Bradshaw’s guide and all that!
I started first learned in inches and feet and although I was taught centimetres and meters later at school I didn’t convert to them. They seemed meaningless to me.
I also use pounds and stones except for some curious reason when I am cooking. I suspect that is because the products are all geared up to metric sizes.
I really must watch that Michael Portillo series. I saw a couple of episodes and found them very interesting.
I think there is a ’series catchup’ on iPlayer.
I always watch everything on iPlayer as I got rid of my telly nine years ago.
Thanks for that
Very impressive!
It is impressive, yes!!
Talk about one of the favorite English icons and photo ops of all time! I’d love to see it one day with my own eyes, Cherry!
I hope you get the chance and I would love to be there when you see it
Have no clue about feet and yards but it is a wonderful viaduct for sure
Thanks Frida
If you travel from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley by train, you get to see a similar viaduct, somewhere in in the North, I think it’s probably after Berwick. I don’t remember the name of the viaduct, possibly Berwick Viaduct.
I have seen it, but I don’t have any photographs of it.
Do canal boats go along there?
No, trains travel along the viaduct.
Boats travel along aqueducts
