Thanks Sue. I had wandered haphazardly and it was pure chance I walked across there, I’ve alway been down below. So I was delighted by the detailed decorations.

He’s definitely had a coat of paint since I saw him last. I remember the viaduct as bottle green! But that was a long time ago. He’d make a very charming pet 🙂 🙂

The first serious bridge over a road in London (the Fleet river runs beneath it apparently) and its opening was quite an event, with Queen V stopping down below to admire the details. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Royal_Procession_under_the_Holborn_Valley_Viaduct,_1869_ILN.jpg
