A Great Vintage Film about British Roads and the first Motorway!

Many of our Southampton Taxi Driver members and lots of our customers are sure to enjoy this great film made by The Rank Organisation back in the 1950s. It features lots of moving images of our bustling town centres chock full of the cars, lorries, trucks, taxis and buses of the day. Why not click the image below to watch and/or reminisce with this video about the making of the first motorway in Britain - the M6 Preston By-pass. This opened on the 5th December 1958, when an advertising campaign was needed to explain to people how to drive on these large new roads!
