"Spaghetti Junction ""Spaghetti Junction"" is a nickname sometimes given to a complicated or massively intertwined road traffic interchange that is said to resemble a plate of spaghetti. Such interchanges may incorporate a variety of interchange design elements in order to maximize connectivity. The term was originally used to refer to the Gravelly Hill Interchange on the M6 motorway in Birmingham, United Kingdom. In an article published in the ""Birmingham Evening Mail"" on 1 June 1965 the journalist Roy Smith described plans for the junction as ""like a cross between a plate of spaghetti and an unsuccessful attempt at a Staffordshire"
"The name of the zebra crossing is attributed to British MP and subsequent Prime Minister, James Callaghan, who in 1948 visited the Transport Research Laboratory which was working on a new idea for safe pedestrian crossings. On being shown a design he is said to have remarked that it resembled a zebra. Located in Birmingham, the Gravelly Hill Interchange's colloquial name ""Spaghetti Junction"" was coined by journalists from the ""Birmingham Evening Mail"" on 1 June 1965. In 1971, the Green Cross Code was introduced to teach children safer road crossing habits. From 1987, Mungo Jerry's song ""In the Summertime"" featured"
"Gravelly Hill railway station Gravelly Hill railway station serves the Gravelly Hill area of Birmingham, England. It is situated on the Redditch-Birmingham New Street-Lichfield Cross-City Line. Opened in 1862, the station was built by the London and North Western (LNWR) railway company on their line between Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. The only remaining original feature is the booking office building, which is unusual in having 2 storeys, and having access to the ticket office via the upper level. Other buildings and an early wooden footbridge were removed with the electrification of the Cross City line in 1992 by British Rail."
"Owen Williams (engineer) Sir Evan Owen Williams (20 March 1890 – 23 May 1969) was an English engineer and architect, known for being the principal engineer for Gravelly Hill Interchange (known popularly as ""Spaghetti Junction"") as well as a number of key modernist buildings, including the Express Building in Manchester and Boots D10 Building in Nottingham. Primarily an engineer, he was not classically trained as an architect but showed an exceptional degree of proficiency with both flair and functionality in his buildings which were considered far ahead of their time during the 1930s. Williams ultimately believed architecture and engineering must"

Salford Bridge was first mentioned as Shrafford Brugge during the reign of Henry III. It was originally a footbridge; however in 1810 it was improved to allow the crossing of vehicles. The word Shrafford was of Saxon origin, meaning ""the ford by the caves"". These caves were cavities in the nearby Copeley escarpment. The caves were artificially enlarged, and survived World War II. During the war, they were used as air raid shelters."
