Hmm. It's a lot different now! I'm guessing that where the open field is, is where the current A1 route travels?

The photographer is standing in what is now, the middle of the North end of the Southbound car park at Birtley services. Looking over Malley's Hole (an old pit) to Harraton Colliery on the left. The Magnesium Limestone Escarpment (A Heugh) at Heugh Hall (or what the new generation prefer to call Old Quarrington) sticks out like a sore thumb on the horizon.

This caravan is so retro, it almost looks contemporary, given the popularity of all things vintage. Share you caravan holiday stories here.

State Library of Queensland Oh, people would kill for this caravan today! I love the enamel pail on the left, and the woman's dress (and nice smile!). And is that an address on the far left of the caravan?!

State Library of Queensland said:
grytlappar It's pretty neat isn't it? The lettering on the far left says '54 Chesney Caravan Coy.' Neil Chesney set up a small caravan factory in Brisbane in the 1950s. At its peak, Lawnton-based Chesney was Australia’s third-largest caravan manufacturer, employing 400 people and making up to a hundred caravans each week.
