Great old film Martyn, :claphands:

I live quite close to Stilton and the village seems nearly as busy now as when the great north road ran through it :lol:

. The A1 village bypass shown in the film was upgraded to an eight lane motorway A1M in 1998. Amazing how things change in just a few years.

Ive added a photo of the first machine I saw when the upgrade started, one of Mainlands machines taking out the hedgerow just off Norman Cross roundabout, next to Stilton.

Would that have been the Stilton Cheese?
I spent many hours on that job when I was fitting for Clee Hill. They had a large amount of kit hired out on there, that's why they opened a depot at Peterborough, It was very handy really having the job on my doorstep :lol:
