EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of the M6 Motorway, showcasing the dedication and skill of civil engineers in building one of England's most important roadways. Taken during the 1960s at Swynnerton, Staffordshire, this image provides an intriguing glimpse into the early stages of development. In this snapshot, we witness a Priestman Lion excavator diligently placing topsoil on batters at Hanchurch. The machine stands as a testament to human ingenuity and progress, symbolizing the tireless efforts behind creating efficient transportation networks for future generations. The composition beautifully frames both sides of the motorway under construction. On the left side, we observe north-bound exit and access roads taking shape while on the right side lies south-bound entry from Hanchurch roundabout (Junction 15). This balanced view highlights meticulous planning and attention to detail that went into designing safe and seamless connections for motorists. Catalogued as part of Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20 by Historic England Archive, this photograph not only documents historical infrastructure but also pays homage to those who contributed their expertise towards shaping our modern transportation system. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene filled with machinery such as dump trucks and other equipment essential to construction work, let us appreciate how far we have come since then. This image serves as a reminder that every road traveled is built upon countless hours of hard work and innovation.
