In the early nineteenth century a few scattered farms and cottages were all that could be seen on the site of what is now Crewe. However, the arrival of Grand Junction Railway heralded a new era, and Crewe was born. The settlement's rapid expansion meant that it soon became an important and vibrant town. In this lavishly illustrated guide, local historian Peter Ollerhead explores the town's development right up until the present day. With sections on local industries, education, religion and recreation, all aspect of everyday life are discussed. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, and including a collection of recommended walks around the town, this detailed guide to Crewe is as fascinating as the location it describes and will appeal to residents and tourists alike.
