EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of Bridge 52 on the M1 Motorway at Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes. Taken in the 1950s, it showcases Laing workers diligently working together to construct the imposing concrete arch that would become an integral part of this iconic motorway. The image is a testament to human ingenuity and determination as these skilled individuals laboriously build a structure that would connect London to Yorkshire. The sheer scale of the project is awe-inspiring, with scaffolding reaching great heights and cranes strategically positioned to assist in lifting heavy materials. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are reminded of the immense progress made in infrastructure development over time. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come and highlights the importance of such monumental projects in shaping our modern world. Catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project by Historic England Archive in partnership with John Laing Charitable Trust, this image not only preserves an important historical moment but also pays homage to those who dedicated their skills and expertise towards building bridges - both literally and metaphorically - for future generations.
