Crewe Works

But now we have seasonal planting, and so those beds have been taken away and you can actually get a little bit closer to see the inscriptions of the people who served.

The thing that I find amazing is that this was funded by workers in Crewe Works.

And I bet that wasn't cheap at the time.

Well, none of it was really.

By today's standards it sounds cheap, but of course, in those days it cost a lot of money.

And we're very proud of it, as we're proud of the park, because it is a Grade II listed park.

If we think about what the land was like here before the park was put in, it's amazing the connections to the railways and to Crewe Works.

A very important time, an exciting time in history in the 1800s, and due to the vision and the views of several Victorian men who linked together this part of the town in a very special way.
