The name of the cinema in High Street was the Plaza then became the Gaumont in 1955 and then called the Magestjc Ballroom and changed to the Top Rank Bingo in 1965 , the forgotten shop in the zHigh Street was Breedon & Middleton a real force of retailing in Crewe before closing in 1978 sadly

The Mill street corridor is just one of the projects that will be happening out of the future high streets funding of 14 million

I don't remember there being a cinema on High St, what was the name of it? I do remember Elliot's off license, The Dirty Duck and the Majestic (where the Beatles played twice, once with Best and once with Ringo).

It’s a really lovely churchyard with many interesting memories. Some of the stones which now serve as a pathway were originally located inside the church. Due to subsidence one can also see inside several vaults. I have many ancestors buried in this churchyard.

Hey have you seen the new skate park by any chance

Containers and wooden huts were suggested by quite a few people when the council first said about meanwhile uses

Because of the lack of any sunny weather or even summer when it comes to that, our summer bedding we put out in the garden has done nothing but rot and die. Its been a dreadful year for gardeners this year because of the lack of warm sunny weather and nothing but endless cloud and rain 😐🌧☔ Parks looking ok apart from a few problems such as the waterfall 🙂

The bridge makes for easy access.

The hole is probably from removing a petrol tank which belong to Royal Oak Garage. They did have a petrol pump many years ago.

Do you really think. Cheshire east. Will buy that idea??? Even if it a good one !

What a fantastic idea for those containers!

Rumours going around. Social media. That our multi carpark. Will never be open. Due to faults. It may have to be knocked down. And rebuilt. What a joke. That would be ..

I agree with you Jan you are negative , but your speaking the truth , carry on sir 👍🏻

Oh dear it's so sad to see how much Crewe has fallen into disrepair & depravity. I see it not just in Crewe but all over the country but Crewe is definitely in the worst towns category but i put the blame on the councils of certain areas Cheshire east council is totally to blame they have destroyed the town by knocking units down without any back up plans relying on government promises. Parts of Crewes history have been destroyed especially the clock tower that I thought would always be part of our history. I have just walked through town and it hurts every time. I am part of an older generation being 53 I have seen so much taken away & I know people of my age also see this. What happened to Crewe carnival it was a massive cash generator for the town there was always thousands upon thousands of people at the event the council blamed the pollution being caused by the carnival floats in the long possession🤔 I remember waiting for the big event every year it was a proud time to be alive but like everything it's been taken away. So in my final thoughts. What's left well there is absolutely nothing hardly any shops a massive pile of earth in the centre a bus station that is an absolute joke next to a bigger horrible multi story monstrosity that is having so many issues it might never open & about 90% shops boarded up with homeless people everywhere. I have so much hate towards the council blaming lack of money and inflation it's the lack of braincells that's the issue how about bringing rents down or even freezing rents for 6 months on commercial premises instead of high rents nobody can afford & how about making the citizens of this town proud of there heritage how about a massive day every year to bring in thousands of people like a carnival with a massive funfair and market on that waste ground in the town that will embrace the whole town let us be proud once again there is so much of Crewe that's been destroyed & it's sad to see the woke council should all be fired bunch of clowns who haven't got a clue unless we start standing up to these idiots we are all complicit to this destruction 👌😡

Why build a carpark when there is NO REASON to want to park in it? The reality is Crewe town centre has been on its ars* for decades. While they could never explain why HS2 was going to make any difference, but they put the bank on it and so when what was always going to happen did, they lost the lot. Cheshire East council as frankly done awful job.

To add to an earlier video , the decorators shop by the Town Hall was owned by Mrs Nellie Hemmings and David Hemmings. Which my family knew well. Great videos Jan

Yes it is a good idea. To video the town's shops for the house bound and the heart foundation have started to move in to the empty. Argos shop.

Cracks happen in all new builds due to drying out and settling

Have you turned on monetization on your channel?

6:49 i think you will find that its a Muscovy Duck, its a sort of mix between a duck and a goose from south America. I could be wrong but that is what i think it is. Stoke on Trent is a dump but it does have some nice green areas like Westport Lake, Parks and some of the Cemeteries.

All that scaffolding just for the roof ... someone is getting. Well paid

Why the hell have they built a multi story car park,?. That's how councils waste our money. Madness.

Im sure whatever theyre doing in high street itll be as bad as everything else this council wastes money on every year... and theres still pot holes

Keep up the good work Jan lad 👍🏻

The plans for the Mill street corridor are on Cheshire east website and clearly shows how pedestrians and cyclists will be crossing Vernon way

Might it not be a good idea to get some facts to back your assumptions. Just guessing and passing them off as gospel is misleading.

Do you like anything happening in Crewe.You

I recently visited Crewe after a four year absence, I only see Degeneration!

It's is Crewe they won't have got up yet ahah😂😂😂

Physical shopping is dead, what folk come out out for is to socialise. So like other towns we need to have social areas with micro bars, cafes, entertainment , street food etc. The market hall has shown us this but it’s too restrictive. The new open area next to the multi storie park is ideal.

Be interesting to see what they are doing with the Limelight... they're saying it's going to be turned into flats, but they've seen saying that since the place closed down in the late 2000's!

19:34 Nice shot of the fox, absolutely love foxes 🦊🙂 21:59 Great view but shame about the distant sirens from emergency services. Hearing sirens going off virtually everyday around stoke-on-trent, never used to be so bad but its getting worse.

cheers for this..your right I never knew it existed! defo going for a mooch with the dog.

Love the image of the rail houses by the war memorial.

was in crewe yesterday..what a shithole..always has been.love from northwich.

I moved to Congleton a couple of years ago, it was a good decision, Congleton's a lovely place. The boat you mentioned used to be a restaurant a couple of decades ago but it closed down (I hear the guy who ran it wasn't terribly popular around town!) and it's been rotting away ever since. If you're doing another graveyard video could I suggest St Peters, it's got a wonderfully old and atmospheric graveyard you might find to be of interest...

Hello Jan. Nice to meet you on D-Day in Crewe's Memorial Square. It was thoughtfully done and the British Legion were well turned out as always. Thanks for recording this important moment in history.

Dirty alley ways, probably a lot of those houses are rented , so it’s a “ not my problem mate “ attitude . Keep up the good work Jan , put pressure on the council 🤪🤣

Btw the skate park is open now

A pride flag near the memorial?

I didn't know about that memorial in the church. I will take my daughter to see that thanks. She's part of the air Cadets and wants to join the RAF. 😊

Hi, I’m Mahibbot Ali, your new subscriber from Bangladesh. I have been watching your recently updated videos, and recently I'm subscribing to your channel and officially joining you. It was so nice to meet you through CZcams.

very nice video

I tend to agree with the they are all the same mentality .but no other MP could be as bad and self serving as the latest tory freeloader .a man who can't even be arsed to stand at the upcoming election.if the local MP is bailing out what hope is there for C&N ???

Tartan bar upstairs in the Normid! Best toasted teacakes for miles!!

It was a miniature railway in the Delamere St garden.

Jan you are correct about the election all three main parties are from different cheeks on the same ARSE. Delamere st cycle lane is stupid but I do use it every day I am more concerned about the potholes getting bigger and expanding .
