Crewe, seen from over Sandbach
The Crewe-Chester Railway crosses the image diagonally; the Crewe-Manchester line crosses along the bottom. The large pale, squarish building by the railway in the centre is the Bentley Motors car plant, the long buildings to the lower left of Bentley is the Bombardier train manufacturing plant, and the wooded circle above is Queen's Park.

Wrecked locomotive
The damage to British Rail Class 40 No. 40 189 is obvious. The locomotive was involved in the Weaver Junction crash on 6 August 1975. It was hauling a freight train which was unable to stop due to a lack of brake power, over-ran a signal and collided with another freight train. Seen during the Crewe Works Open Day, 1975.
Location within Crewe Works where photographed is a guess.

Crewe Works, Crewe
Class 90050 and Class 91020 stand in the works on Crewe Open Day.
I'm not quite sure of the correct title for the works, nor its correct grid reference, but I don't think I'm far off with the latter.

End Of The Road
40123, an English Electric type 4 locomotive, succumbs to the cutters torch in Crewe Works after a twenty year career. The type were ordered for the pilot scheme dieselisation of British Railways in 1955 and the first entered service in 1958. Built by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns, she entered service as D323 in May 1961. She was withdrawn from Haymarket (Edinburgh) shed in 1980. Although partly cut up in this photo, she would hang on for another 9 months before being broken-up completely in February 1983.

Crewe Locomotive Works, Crewe
This is Class 91024, which now regularly runs in service up and down the East Coast Main Line (ECML). The line-up of locomotives, under construction, started with 91022, which was almost completed. I followed a group of excited enthusiasts as they progressed along the production line, starting with 91022. They almost ran down the line eagerly writing down the numbers of each less finished than the one before. After we passed the just started 91028 I expected to see them huddled around a packet of nuts and bolts desperately searching for the number 91029.
