Re: Viaduct
Is that a 'for definite' answer? Are we starting with the one over Blackburn Road or eliminating that one? I reckon that counts because it seems to be continuous from there. But the one in Whalley Road is on its own.

Re: Viaduct
Well I walked under it last night and each arch has a plate on the wall with it's arch number and other details,presumably for if summat crashes into it. I walked under arch number 18 and then looked back and counted the rest, only got to 21.
