Crewe

When most people think of Crewe, they think of railways. During the 19th century Crewe was one of the world’s greatest railway workshops and was a hotbed of craft and invention, building elegant locomotives that brought wealth and prestige to the town.

But Crewe’s got a lot more to offer than just trains. There’s a thriving live music scene, as well as a range of shops, bars, pubs and restaurants. Take a stroll in Queen’s Park, a traditional Victorian park that is being restored to her former glory or take in a show at the award winning Crewe Lyceum.

Crewe is also home to the famous Crewe Alexandra Football Club – aptly nicknamed the Railwaymen.
