Steam Nightclub, High Street, Crewe
The High Street is now a rather unappealing backstreet off Edleston Road. The tall Steam Nightclub building has been operated as a nightclub under a variety of names for many years. Its impressive front facade is rather out of place these days. The side lettering, prominent from the railway bridge on Edleston Road, reads 'Kettell's Restaurant'

The tower and ruins of Christ Church, Crewe
Looking towards the freestanding tower of Christ Church, which was retained when large parts of the church were demolished between 1977-1979 due to dry rot. In the foreground are parts of the former wall of the church, and services are still held in a section that still stands. http://www.scfhs.org.uk/scfhs/christchurch_crewe_intro.html
The tower still contains a full ring of ten bells (more than most churches which rarely have more than eight) and is highly regarded in bell ringing circles. http://dove.cccbr.org.uk/detail.php?searchString=crewe&Submit=+Go+&DoveID=CREWE
(Thanks to Stephen Craven for the information regarding the bells)

A pillar of Christ Church
This is one of the remaining pillars that were left when a large part of the Christ Church was demolished in 1977. The plaque above the door commemorates that the church was built in 1845 by the Grand Junction Railway Company, was partly demolished in 1977, and was re-opened in 1979.
