Watch Reel History of Britain Season 1 Episode 8 Online

Today we're pulling up at the Haynes International Motor Museum in Somerset, to look back to the 1960s when dreams of the open road became a reality for the first time for millions of people. Joan Wright remembers the impact on her family when her father acquired his first car. We'll hear from Joe Moran, one of the thousands of men who travelled from Ireland to build Britain's motorways. And Anna Purkiss will see footage of her parents that evokes emotional memories of the time they were forced to make way for the motorway.
