1960s Construction Motorway Road


EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the M6 Motorway, a vital transportation artery connecting Birmingham to Preston. Taken in the 1960s, this image showcases Section C. 2 through to the boundary with D. 1, located north of Hanchurch in Staffordshire. The sheer scale and ambition of this engineering feat are evident as you observe the vast expanse of land transformed into a modern marvel. The intricate network of roads and bridges takes shape before your eyes, symbolizing progress and connectivity for generations to come. As part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust, this print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and collaboration. It is an invaluable record that documents not only infrastructure development but also societal advancement during that era. From high above, one can appreciate both the complexity and beauty inherent in road construction. The meticulous planning required becomes apparent as every detail falls into place seamlessly under careful supervision. Historic England Archive has preserved this remarkable snapshot from our past for future generations to admire and learn from. It reminds us how far we have come while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries and embracing innovation for a better tomorrow.
