EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Historic England Archive takes us back to the 1960s, showcasing a significant moment in the construction of the Birmingham to Preston Motorway (M6). The image captures a team of dedicated workers diligently surfacing the hard shoulder at Hanchurch, Staffordshire. Intriguingly, Structure 340 looms in the background - a bridge on Hanchurch Lane that carries Newcastle-under-Lyme's main water supply. This juxtaposition highlights not only the progress being made on this ambitious motorway project but also emphasizes how infrastructure development intertwines with essential utilities. The scene is filled with bustling activity as civil engineers and laborers work tirelessly to lay down tarmac and asphalt. A dump truck stands ready nearby, waiting to transport materials while a paver or paving machine ensures precision during the surfacing process. This snapshot encapsulates an era when road networks were expanding rapidly across Britain, transforming travel and connectivity for generations to come. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in overcoming engineering challenges. As we admire this remarkable photograph by A© Historic England Archive, let it remind us of our collective ability to shape landscapes and build connections that endure through time.
