This short standard 8mm film taken on 27th July 1976 shows the cutting of the first sodd at what we know now to be junction 12 of the M65. The Ceremony was undertaken by councillor Catherine Sumner Clough on this historical day in Brierfield, Lancashire.The film also goes on to show the demolishion of the old canal bridge down Lindred lane, where now is the site of the new bridge which carries motorway traffic over the canal at Junction 12 where nearby B&Q has since built one of its DIY stores.
