50th anniversary of M1

The M1 motorway celebrates its 50th birthday today. Roads minister Chris Mole unveiled a plaque at the motorway's first service station, Watford Gap in Northamptonshire, to commemorate the occasion. When the road opened it started at junction 5 near Watford in Hertfordshire and ran to junction 18 near Rugby. It now stretches from Brent Cross in north west London to Garforth near Leeds.
