Remembering...The Great Gathering

With the continuing dimunition of Crewe's railway works, could something like this ever happen here again? If the station move went ahead, dare Crewe hope for a bigger, better space in which to share its world changing history in the current historic station? Would it be a dream or a nightmare? Whatever, Crewe Heritage Centre will continue to improve, educate, inform and do its best as Crewe's Museum, and perhaps we can hope for major events like this to return here one day.
