Location, location, location...


Wondered about this block of flats/houses for a while. It's been on hold for some time, sandwiched between two more successful plots off Dunwoody Way that have mostly sold. When you think about it, this is a cracking location. Close to a supermarket, walking distance to the town centre, five minutes from the cinema, ten minutes walk to Bentley Motors and not much further to the Marshfield Bank employment park. Also, the area will soon look even smarter when a retirement village is built on the corner of the Crewe Works car park, lifting the whole area. Add to that the old cobbles of Goddard Street and, one day, it could be a very desirable area. Ten years ago, when the land was largely derelict, few would have thought that... 

Open Air Crewe


Some of you might recall me moaning about the last Open Air magazine published by Cheshire East. Basically, Crewe hardly got a look in. This time around, it's good to see that Queens Park and Quakers Coppice get a mention. Last weekend I popped over to the park and walked the new path past the golf course and along the Valley Brook towards the Rising Sun off Middlewich Road. When the park is opened up, this will make a decent afternoon's stroll...

Another COOP!


Once upon a time, this is where the George pub stood. They didn't get enough custom to keep it going, but the COOP thinks that it's the perfect spot for another mini-supermarket. Strange, really, as there is one about 500 yards away on Minshull New Road! But I'm sure they know best. There's another unit planned, possibly a take-away, and a plot of housing will be built later this year.

Not just One Direction!


The King George V playing fields now boast some swanky new signs. All part of the Sustrans Cycle Path that winds its way around the pitches, connecting Queens Park with the Rising Sun pub. The next phase will see the route cross the busy Middlewich Road and continue past Alverston Hall and on to Nantwich...

No need for covers?


The ground isn't frozen but there's a chance of rain/sleet ahead of this weekend's match against Northampton. Will the covers be required, or will Gresty Road finally see some action? When did we last have a home game?

After the snow, the soggy ground...


It's not become an issue (yet) but if the heavens open over the next few days we'll see some flooding around parts of Crewe. Plenty of soggy ground already following the thaw, with golfers braving the conditions at the Queens Park club, Sunday League footy on the King George V fields looking a bit iffy and parts of the Leighton Greenway already under water - as usual.
