EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the M5 motorway near Manchester during the 1960s. The image showcases a bustling scene of traffic moving along the motorway, passing by a service station. The vehicles, a mix of cars, vans, and lorries, are tightly packed in their respective lanes, each making their way towards their destinations. The service station, with its distinctive signage for brands like Mobil, Fina, Esso, Southworth, ERF, Davey, and Baines, stands as a beacon of rest and refueling for weary travelers. The bridge in the background adds a modern touch to the scene, contrasting the vintage cars and trucks below. The windows of the vehicles are adorned with various patterns and designs, providing a glimpse into the lives of the people inside. The image captures the essence of road travel during the 1960s in the UK, a time when cars were becoming more accessible to the masses and the motorway network was expanding. The photograph is a testament to the evolution of transportation and the role that service stations played in providing essential services to travelers on long journeys. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for licensing through Mary Evans Prints Online.
