I WRITE further to the reservations already expressed by Mr Jackson over the quality of conservation work undertaken to the Western facade of Brunel's viaduct in Chippenham.

I wonder whether those responsible might take the opportunity offered by the forthcoming recapitulation of the road surfacing to restore the damaged keystone of the New Road arch which I recall being caused by frost damage during the big freeze of 1962-3?
