Caption

A view of the construction of Section D2 of the Birmingham to Preston Motorway (M6), showing a Co-operative grocery van driving across Structure 362, the road bridge carrying the A52 Nantwich Road over the motorway, (now the B5500) with Old Peel Farm in the background. In the album, the typed caption records this bridge as carrying the A52 over the motorway. The location of this structure is at grid reference SJ7792750302 and the road appears to have since been renumbered as the B5500.
