EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of the Midland Link Motorway in South Staffordshire during the 1960s. The image showcases a team of dedicated workers gathered around a concrete culvert, diligently working to bring this vital infrastructure project to life. The Midland Link section of the M6 Motorway, spanning from Dunston to Shareshill (Junction 13 - Junction 11), was expertly executed by the Civil Engineering Division of John Laing Construction Ltd. Their commitment and expertise ensured that this ambitious motorway project became a reality for commuters and travelers alike. Opening its lanes on March 14th, 1966, this motorway quickly became an essential transportation route connecting different regions. It not only facilitated smoother travel but also played a crucial role in fostering economic growth and development across South Staffordshire. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the tireless efforts of these workers as they meticulously construct one component of this vast network. Their dedication is palpable as they collaborate to build the concrete culvert—a testament to their skill and determination. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this photograph serves as a reminder of both our engineering achievements and the hardworking individuals who made them possible. It stands as an enduring symbol of progress and innovation during an era defined by transformative infrastructure projects like these.
