EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Keele Services, located on the M6 Motorway in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. The image showcases Structure 347A at the service area, as seen from a northern perspective. It provides a glimpse into the construction and development of this vital motorway during the 1960s. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the covered footbridge that spans over the bustling motorway. Adorned with a prominent Laing contractors sign, it serves as both an architectural marvel and a symbol of progress. This bridge not only connects two sides of the motorway but also represents connectivity between different regions and communities. As part of the Breaking New Ground Project initiated by Historic England Archive in collaboration with John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20, this image holds immense historical value. It offers us an opportunity to delve into our past and understand how infrastructure projects like these have shaped our present-day transportation systems. While admiring this remarkable piece of history, let us reflect upon how far we have come since then. Today, Keele Services stands as more than just a service station; it has become an integral part of countless journeys along one of Britain's busiest highways.
