The first section of the M1 was opened on the 2nd November 1959. Other sections of it were added in 1965,1968, 1972, 1977,1999 and 2008.
The first motorway opened in Britain was the M6 (M=Motorway). It was known as the Preston Bypass. It was opened in 1958. When it was planned, the Preston Bypass was seen as the first piece of a large network. It was deemed a success and led to the construction of a second motorway, the M1, opened in 1959. There was no speed limit and no crash barriers and hardly any traffic -- now that's what I call motoring! The M6 is also Britain's longest motorway and Britain's busiest.
I can't find any written confirmation of this, but I think it was Ernest Marples who was Minister of Transport at the time that the first section was opened(1959).
The M1 Garand was first fielded in 1936.
