EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the M6 Motorway through the picturesque Lune Gorge in Eden, Cumbria. In this image, two determined men can be seen fearlessly blasting and drilling rocks as part of this monumental project. The sheer scale of the task at hand is evident as these workers toil away amidst a rugged landscape. The rock excavations required for the motorway's construction were carried out at Dillicar Knott quarry and Jeffreys Mount, both conveniently located near the site. These quarries served as crucial sources for materials needed to shape this vital transportation artery. The photograph transports us back to the 1960s when progress was being made on connecting communities and facilitating travel across England. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance during an era defined by ambitious infrastructure projects. The presence of heavy machinery further emphasizes the magnitude of this endeavor. The deafening noise from drills and explosives must have filled the air, echoing through valleys that had previously remained untouched by such industrial activity. As we gaze upon this image captured by A© Historic England Archive, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of transportation development while appreciating those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to make it possible.
