These are in the form of image link with text link below, each link leading to the same location.
If I view page 1 in a text-only browser I have two identical links pointing, one straight after the other. I have 10 - 15 instances of this, one for each subject area I'm linking to.
If I get rid of the image link but keep the image, I have a usability problem.
If I get rid of the image and image link altogether my site will become dull beyond belief.
How much does the double-link matter? Is there a work-around?

If the text links are beneath the image within the same block level element, you could do something like this...
<a href="http://www.example.com/"><img src="/images/file.gif" width="109" height="56" alt="Alternative text here"><br>Link Text</a>What's nice with the above is that when a user hovers over the image, the text link will react. But only if you are using styles on your a:hover.
You could also rethink the menu strategy. Use images for the visual menu (no text links). Then put your text links in a bottom navigation element. This way when the user scrolls vertically and loses the images, they will still have the text links at bottom. Make sure that the text links mimic the graphic navigation exactly. You want to make sure that the user can become familiar with your navigation structure.
