    M5 Motorway 45 years ago.

    Those were the day's . But what a change that Motorway made to our Holiday in the west country,cut travel times from 7 Hours on the old A38 to 2 & 1/2 on the M5 even if you had to get off before Bristol. You could spend more time getting though Bristol than getting there from Birmingham.
