Talk:Wharncliffe Viaduct

message: There must be some telepathy going on -- I found the same site just about the moment you submitted the update!
There ought to be more documentation somewhere to say why it was named thus, like who decided it, whether it was in response to a favourable passage through Parliament, or money, or...?

message: I have posted a suggestion for the Main Page 'Did You Know?' slot at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on June 17.
The article appears to meet all the requirements, although I would love to have stronger refs for the bats!
Initial suggestion is: 
*...that the Brunel-designed Wharncliffe Viaduct of 1836 (pictured), on the GWR main line in London, is home to a protected colony of bats? Created by Middlesexman, expanded 13-fold by EdJogg/Aspro, nom by EdJogg 13:43, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Since a viaduct is classed as a 'bridge' I wondered whether you think that this info box is worth using in the article?  
Template:Infobox_Bridge. To see how it looks in an article look at Tower_Bridge.  --Aspro 15:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know why the map seems to be not picking up the coordinates correctly? The map is displaying Long = 0 and Lat = 0 which seems to be indicating that somehow the coordinates are not read propertly. I was looking into another very similar example  Chiswick Park Footbridge and I cannot understand why Chiswick Park Footbridge works fine but Wharncliffe Viaduct does not. Glad if anyone could shed some light on this! Many thanks --JuanGut (talk) 11:56, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
