This (Picture Left) is the view that most people associate with Crewe, as most of us have been there whilst waiting for train, but is there anything else in Crewe to see and do?

First a note about it’s famous Train Station. The Station which was opened in 1837, has a total of 12 platforms, has a minimum of 22 trains pass through each hour and was built in the fields near Crewe Hall.

Crewe Hall which is now a hotel was completed in 1636 and has 497 acres of parkland attached to it, the hotel has an associated health club and tennis courts.

Crewe’s  local football team is Crewe Alexandra, nicknamed the railwaymen and currently playing in Football League two, play at the Alexandra Stadium.

If you fancy taking in a film or two then check out the Reel Cinema with its 5 screens, and then afterwards have a game of ten pin bowling at Lakeside Bowling or get a bite to eat at Pizza Hut.

You can learn more about Crewe’s history at The Crewe Heritage Centre, which includes much information about it’s steam Heritage and History as well as the background story of the town.

If you fancy a bit of fun and excitement and enjoy slot machines then check out the Quicksilver Amusement & Slot Machine arcade, before checking out the Coffee bars in the modern shopping precinct.

So Crewe isn’t all trains, there is something to keep most of us entertained.
