Yay!!!!!  :D :D :D :D   Thanks Jen for the confirmation!!! Dead chuffed!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I was sitting in the car playing with my phone yesterday, when I saw Arthur's link and sat trying to pass the time on a boring drive playing with the flags.  Anyway, long story short, I continued on today keeping around the areas where some of the other WAIs are located and... it paid off!!   ;D ;D ;D

That's a great link Arthur….thanks so much for posting it!!!

Happy to mark this one completed!!

Hate to put a damper on things and wishful thinking, but there are differences in the river banks, the flow, the sklyine and bridge construction.

Malky might have a point... What's always struck me about the WAI bridge is that one end seems higher than the other, whereas a lot of the ones we're finding seem to have an apex at the centre of the arch. Or am I imagining things?

That was a contributory factor  in why I proposed a two (or more) span bridge,together with the impression of more river to the right,posssibly even a confluence.
