The Viaduct is one of those big pieces of architecture that you notice from afar and ignore close up. So get close for a major neck craning and you’ll get that “how the hell did they ever build this…” feeling. When I look up I get vertigo and I doubt the strength of those spindly looking redbrick supports. Preston Road and Beaconsfield Road are good places to look around, and afterwards you can pop into the nearby Signalman pub.
