Motorway Signage, on the A59 - A Glimpse into the Birth of UK's First Motorway
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in British history - Monday 1st December 1958. It showcases the motorway signage on the A59, which would later become part of the iconic M6 motorway. This image captures not only a snapshot of road infrastructure but also represents a milestone in transportation development. The sign itself is an intriguing sight, displaying a list of restrictions that were applicable at that time. The message clearly prohibits L-drivers, mopeds, motorcycles under 50cc, invalid-carriages, pedal-cycles, pedestrians, and even animals from accessing this newly constructed stretch of road. These limitations remind us how far we have come in terms of safety regulations and accessibility. Valentine's expertly captured photograph transports us back to the vibrant era of the 1950s when motorways were still novel concepts shaping modern travel patterns. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the simplicity of road signs against a backdrop that hints at bustling traffic and progress. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints collection, it serves as both a reminder and celebration of our nation's pioneering spirit in revolutionizing transportation infrastructure for generations to come.
