EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Newport, Wales in March 1967. The image showcases a section of the iconic M4 motorway under construction, leading from the Malpas Road roundabout junction towards the Brynglas tunnels. This particular stretch of road was eagerly anticipated by locals as it promised improved connectivity and faster travel times. The photograph captures the essence of this transformative era, with workers laboring diligently amidst towering cranes and heavy machinery. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in shaping our modern infrastructure. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far we've come since then. Today, this very same section is an integral part of one of Britain's busiest motorways, facilitating countless journeys between cities and regions. Harris' skillful capture not only documents an important milestone in Newport's history but also invites us to reflect on progress made over half a century ago. It reminds us that every road has its beginning - born out of visionaries who dared to dream big and engineers who turned those dreams into reality. This print is more than just an archival piece; it encapsulates a momentous chapter in Wales' transportation evolution that continues to impact lives today.
