Crewe Works 1955

Crewe Works was built by the  Grand Junction Railway in 1840.  It was the largest Railway Works in the UK and by 1848 employed over 1000 people.
When locomotives arrived in the Works they were assessed, steam cleaned and then dismantled and repaired in the Erecting Shop.  Finally they were repainted, tested and hauled for steaming and trials at one of the two main Crewe sheds.  These visits show the progress made by engines during 1955.
