Home > About Crewe
Crewe has long been a town of transformation. From its humble beginnings as a quiet rural area, it became one of the most important railway hubs in the country in the 19th century.
The arrival of the Grand Junction Railway in 1837 changed everything, Crewe became synonymous with industry, innovation, and connectivity. The town flourished around the railways, attracting workers, engineers and businesses that would define its legacy.
Fast forward to today, and Crewe has evolved into a dynamic, multicultural centre, rich in heritage but driven by modern ambition. A thriving community of local businesses, creative minds and diverse cultures now call Crewe home, contributing to a vibrant and ever-growing town. With a strong identity built on innovation and resilience, Crewe continues to develop, ensuring it remains a forward-looking destination.
At the heart of this evolution is Crewe BID, working tirelessly under the Discover Crewe brand to enhance the town for residents, businesses and visitors alike. By championing local enterprises, improving public spaces and hosting engaging events, Crewe BID is committed to shaping a future that celebrates the town’s unique identity while pushing for progress every day.
