Angle grader JLP01_08_081817

SOUTH LAKELAND, CUMBRIA. A view of the construction of the M6 Motorway through the Lune Gorge, showing an angle grader at work on the motorway with a Laing worker standing at the controls.
The work on the Lune Gorge section of the M6 Motorway between Killington and Tebay (Junction 37 - Junction 38) was carried out by John Laing Construction Ltd. Work started in October 1967 and the motorway was opened to traffic in October 1970. In the negative register for the collection, the subject of the photograph is recorded as Angle grader at work S. Sect M/6, this may be a reference to the southern section of this stretch of the motorway towards Junction 37
