Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The M6 is Glorious! Although sections of this motorway have a reputation for congestion and tedium, the positives of the M6 far outweigh the negatives. There are many treasurers to be seen along this mighty stretch of motorway, or visited within a few minutes' drive from many of its junctions. From Roman roads and medieval castles to Victorian ingenuity and nuclear power stations. From best-selling authors and chart-topping bands to iconic television series and films. The M6 has something for everyone. The chapters of this book are named according to the junctions of Britain's longest motorway, starting at the Catthorpe Interchange, and finishing at Junction 45 on the Scottish border. Motorways are not just mundane concrete infrastructure that facilitate journeys from A to B they are tapestries woven between communities and across eras of history, and the M6 has 232 miles worth of tapestry filled with stories to tell.
