EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1959, showcases an early section of the M1 Motorway, the United Kingdom's first inter-city motorway, which opened in 1958. Spanning an impressive 55 miles and featuring 134 bridges, the M1 was a groundbreaking engineering feat of the 1950s. In this image, three service stations can be seen along the motorway. The first is the iconic Fortes Restaurant, a popular stop for weary travelers seeking a respite from their journey. The second is a Service Area Approach, designed to provide motorists with essential facilities such as fuel, food, and restrooms. The third service station is visible via the pedestrian bridge, allowing travelers to safely cross the motorway and access amenities. The turn-off for the A5 at Dunstable is also clearly visible in the photograph. This junction was an essential connection for motorists traveling between the M1 and other parts of the country. The M1's opening in 1958 revolutionized long-distance travel in the UK, making it faster and more convenient than ever before. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of motorway travel in the UK, showcasing the innovative design and infrastructure that made the M1 a symbol of progress and modernity in the 1950s.
