Description: | c1970. Building the M62 in the section from Gildersome to Tingley. This photograph has been taken from the Scotchman Lane bridge over the motorway. In the top centre is one of the four smoke ventilation shafts of Morley Tunnel. The chimneys on the right are from Armitage's brickworks at Woodkirk. After the motorway runs off the picture it goes towards the bridge under Rein Road, then under the A650T to finally come to Tingley roundabout in this section. The motorway needed special care and attention in this section because the area had many old quarries going across it (Finsdales etc.) and so needed extra packing to stop subsidence occurring.
