This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the sleek, modernist horizon of the M4 Chiswick Flyover in Brentford during 1963. Looking east from the elevated carriageway, the image features the famous Martini Rossini clock tower, a beloved local landmark that was later relocated and rebranded during subsequent area redevelopments. Dominating the background is the multi-storey Wimpey building, also known for housing the Pan American Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Division. In the foreground, a light-coloured Austin flatbed truck with the registration plate 286 NMY travels along the smooth asphalt of the newly opened motorway. Period commercial signage for “Esso” and “Bacon & Arnold Ltd” is visible below the flyover, alongside traditional suburban rooftops. This digital download is a significant record of Britain’s “Great West Road” and the optimism of the early motorway age, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of mid-century industrial wall art.
