Earth moving equipment, Lancaster By-Pass (M6) - 1959
The Lancaster By-Pass, now part of the M6, was one of the earliest sections of motorway to be constructed in Britain. Work began following on from the Preston By-Pass (M6) and the M1. The new 2 lane each way road was 11.5 miles long, between Hampson Green, just south of Galgate to Carnforth Level north of Lancaster, both accessed from the old A6 highway.
View taken May 1959, on the Newlands section now known as Blea Tarn Road, at the top of Hala Hill, Scotforth.
