- Take A Look At Crewe
Made I think in the early nineties. At that time Crewe was getting a lot of negative publicity in the national press, I thought I’d redress the balance a bit. This was a competition winner.
Unemployment, closed businesses and derelict properties. Now doesn’t that just sound familiar?
I have lived here all my life and can confidently say nothing has changed for the better. Take the town centre for instance, shops were told to not renew their leases at the end of 2009 due to a redevelopment scheme that hadn’t been confirmed yet resulting in 50% of the units in town being empty until 2019. Since then they have demolished a large area of the town entirely and have plans for ‘A cinemas, a bowling alley a street of shops and some car parking’. This sound great until you think back to the last big project built in Crewe, the ‘Leisure Park’ on Dunwoody way. The one with the Cinema which is now on the brink of closing and the bowling alley which went out of business five years ago and has been an empty unit since. As for the street of shops they plan to build in the town centre? What did they demolish originally if not two streets of shops (and yes the rundown bus workshop which did need to go but will probably become yet another car park, something we don’t need)
it did become a car park😳

Nice looking town. Lovely looking old cars and trucks also.
For the 1st 45 secs you were spot on...😂 Then it went to "Once upon a time"
i briefly went to Crewe uni in the 90's and not too offend anyone from Crewe but it was an absolute fucking shit hole (and that's putting it nicely). One of the happiest days of my life was when i left and never went back.
Spent a weekend in Crewe last April and being in the town centre at 5PM on Sunday afternoon , I felt as though we were back in lockdown as all the shops had closed and the town centre was virtually deserted.
Am a great fan of Haslington. Got a few friends who live there and feel there is a real community spirit in that village.
Superbly done.
this video is gold
Moving back for 2023
Fast forwards to 2023 and the Town Centre looks like a Ukrainian battlefield thanks to Cheshire Least Council.
Yep. I still visit friends in Crewe. It's not a pretty sight now. Mick
@@grandadskitchenstokeontren6099 It's absolutely awful now, it's criminal what Cheshire Least Council have done.
A polish occupied one
@@suitsyousir1980 Totally drunken Polish one an all 👎
@@suitsyousir1980The Polish moved. Too many Arabs. 😂
For a railway's town, Crewe road traffic is such a nightmare!
Crewe needs a heck of a lot doing to it now to make it a place to go. How it applied for CITY status I will never know ,it isn't even a TOWN anymore.
You think it was bad then you want to see it now it's more deprived than ever it's not even worth filming as everything has gone down included 👍
Quite different now!
@@smctfan39 I live in Crewe and have done all of my life-it’s a small crappy town with one of the worst high streets I’ve ever seen. We’ll never be a city, what are you talking about??!!
@@FckYeahh Yeah tbf I have no clue what i was on about, as soon as im able to leave im definitely doing that
I'm from sandbach. Moved to crewe when I was 20, cheaper rents. Great place to live and shop, lovely parks, regular buses, lots of jobs. I moved to Somerset 7 years ago...to get married, but there's so much I miss....
Wright's pies, Roberts bread, chatwins cakes, Nantwich Road bakery, Harvey's breakfast rolls.... And everything being within walking distance.... Dr, dentist, college, etc. Crewe had it just right. And rent here is extortionate!!! Moan all you want haters... You've got it good. I am happy here, but... I miss the northern way. Can't even get decent chippy gravy here!!! I've subscribed to this channel.... Show me more crewe x
Wrights pies has closed it's shop in Crewe, I have lived here for about 4 years and I have never known a bakery in Nantwich road so that must have closed down as well. Can't get a dentist on the NHS anymore. trying to get a DR appointment now has become a nightmare. And the best chippy's around me has closed down.
I remember 2 or 3 bakeries on Nantwich Road.
I'm from Alsager originally and did the same from Crewe to Somerset. It is lovely in Somerset but there are plenty of things I miss back up home. In Crewe/Cheshire you could get everywhere so quickly and easily, in Somerset you have to get North of Bristol before you feel like you're getting anywhere

Hmmm ! ! ..... you should have seen it in the 1960's ....... ( ? ) ....... DAVE™ 🛑
