HGV on M6 The M6 motorway runs from junction 19 of the M1 at the Catthorpe Interchange, near Rugby to the Gretna junction (J45). Here it becomes the A74(M) and M74 which continues to Glasgow. The M6 is the longest motorway in the United Kingdom (232 miles) and one of the busiest. It incorporates the first length of motorway opened in the UK (the Preston bypass in 1958) and forms part of a motorway "Backbone of Britain", running north-south between London and Glasgow via the industrial north of England. It is also part of the east-west route between the Midlands and the east coast ports.

River Brock at Walmsley Bridge - Glacial layers Shown are the 2 most recent glacial till layers with the remnants of a previous river channel. the upper layer is fluvio-glacial with rounded stones, whilst the lower (darker) till layer is probably from the Devensian Ice Age and contains angular stones, typical of purely glacial origin.The current river is continually exposing these layers and the bedrock of mudstones is cut through just a 100m up and down stream from this point.

Lancaster Canal at Town Croft Wood The Lancaster Canal was originally planned to run from Westhoughton in Lancashire to Kendal in South Cumbria. The section around the crossing of the River Ribble was never completed.The southern part, from Johnson's Hillock to Wigan Top Lock, remains navigable as part of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The planned continuation to Westhoughton was never built. The Lancaster canal is currently only open to navigation for 42 miles from Preston to Tewitfield near Carnforth. The northern terminus at Kendal can no longer be reached; the canal north of Tewitfield having been severed in three places by the construction of the M6 motorway, and by the A590 road near Kendal in the 1960s <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.canaljunction.com/canal/lancaster.htm" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.canaljunction.com/canal/lancaster.htm">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Canal Junction <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancaster_Canal" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancaster_Canal">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Wikipedia <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.lctrust.co.uk/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.lctrust.co.uk/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Lancaster Canal Trust
