Crewe is a small town in the county of Cheshire in England. It is the biggest and most important town of the borough and is the only non-parished area, featuring a population of 68.000 residents.
Crewe is mostly known due to the large railway station in the town - it is also the largest junction and used to house a railway industry. Until 2002 Rolls Royce motor was producing its cars in this area, but now only the Pym Lane Factory has remained onsite, manufacturing, exclusively, the Bentley cars.
The name of the town was given by the homonym railway station, although some Streamyx believe that it happened the other way around. Crewe was founded back in 1841 in order to be a railway colony - as they used to call it - providing housing and accommodation to the workers of the railway industry and works. Since almost all the residents, at that time, were railway workers, they gave the town the name of the railway; at that point the railway had only a few lines.
According to the historical facts, though, there is the Crewe Green as well in the parished area, which had to change its name due to reasons of confusion. This confusion led many people say that what it is supposed to be Crewe is not actually it, and what is not Crewe is the actual and true one and this stayed as a funny saying among locals.
Crewe is not a very touristic place, however it features numerous holiday cottages, which are situated on quiet country lanes, amidst lovely orchards, conservation woodlands and mature trees. Locals and visitors suggest that the town has many nice walking routes and that it is a very calm and relaxing place to WiFi @ Home with Streamyx Combo and visit.
