The Burnley Embankment or "Straight Mile"

• ... that The Straight Mile (pictured) is not a straight mile, and includes The Culvert which isn't a culvert? Sources: The Straight Mile is not a straight mile (Porter, 1980) and includes The Culvert which isn't a culvert? (Frost et. al., 2014)

• Comment: Both sources offline (Google Books preview may be sufficient for verification). QPQ review at Template:Did you know nominations/1766 Istanbul earthquake. MIDI (talk) 13:24, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Created by MIDI (talk). Self-nominated at 13:24, 28 October 2019 (UTC).

• Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and supported by offline references, accepted AGF. QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. Image is freely licensed. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 23:23, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

• The source doesn't refer to "the culvert" as a proper name, so this one needs more work. Gatoclass (talk) 13:07, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

• Added a further ref to show that "The Culvert" is used as a proper noun. MIDI (talk) 13:40, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, restoring tick. -Zanhe (talk) 00:33, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
