Sign Gantry on the M1 at Milton Keynes

The M1 is a north–south motorway connecting London to Leeds, where it joins the A1(M) near Aberford. It was the first motorway to be completed in the United Kingdom. The motorway is 193 miles long and was constructed in four phases. Most of the motorway was opened between 1959 and 1968 but the southern end was extended in 1977 and the northern end was extended in 1999.

The edge of Tesco's

The car park is empty at the moment but in the 20 minutes we waited in the rain there were large numbers of cars arriving.

Nearly empty car park

The rain is only heavy at the moment, soon it becomes very heavy and a little later it stops.

Looks like electric scooters are the preferred mode of transport these days

New houses on Fen Street, Broughton

These have just been finished and at least have some front gardens.

Road and culvert

A chunk of land between the M1 and the Broughton area of Milton Keynes which is perhaps for commercial property development. Very little building activity visible in June 2009 but perhaps they are still busy getting the infrastructure in place. Perhaps a return visit in 2010 to see what has happened in a year?
