Gravelly Hill Interchange opened. Pictured, the Rt. Hon. Mr Peter Walker, Secretary of State for the Environment, cuts the tape at the opening today. The Lancaster red rose was given as a symbol of thanks for the completion of this last section of the motorway system linking Lancashire and the North West with London and the South East. In addition, to symbolise the importance of the occasion for Lancaster, the Lord Mayor of London has today sent a very large bouquet of red roses to the Mayor of Lancaster. The bouquet contains 243 roses, one for each mile between Mansion House, London and the Town Hall of Lancaster. The roses, a welcome gesture of good will, were carried in the first private vehicle to travel from London to the North West through the new Motorway link. 24th May 1972

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Gravelly Hill Interchange Opens - A Milestone in Motorway History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a historic moment as the Rt. Hon. Mr Peter Walker, Secretary of State for the Environment, cuts the tape at the opening of Gravelly Hill Interchange. The significance of this event cannot be overstated, as it marks the completion of the last section connecting Lancashire and the North West with London and the South East. To commemorate this achievement, a symbolic gesture was made by presenting Mr. Walker with a Lancaster red rose – a token of gratitude for his contribution to this monumental motorway system. Furthermore, highlighting its importance to Lancaster itself, an extravagant bouquet containing 243 red roses was sent from Lord Mayor of London to Mayor of Lancaster – each rose representing one mile between Mansion House in London and Lancaster's Town Hall. Adding charm to this occasion is another delightful detail - these beautiful roses were carried in the first private vehicle that traversed from London to North West through this newly established motorway link. Captured on May 24th, 1972 by Bill Ellmann, this image encapsulates not only an engineering marvel but also showcases how transportation networks can foster goodwill and unity across regions. As we delve into Memory Lane Prints' collection, let us cherish such remarkable moments that have shaped our past and continue to inspire progress today.
