Yes, it is the main trunk, not a branch.
And I'm getting pretty good at the old solder joints now, but the
comments about water in the pipe is well worth noting - I hadn't
thought of that. So I'll do the link to the exiting pipework with brass
compression joints.
Thanks again all

This wate in te pipe is a load of old malarkey.
If the pipes are horizontal the water will fall out anyway.
If vertical going down, open a valve somewhere and blow the water out.
Only time its given me serous trouble was trying to fix a leaking joint
in a system full of water.
