Parked at the Grand Junction Retail Park and took a sunny Friday afternoon walk around the streets of Crewe. From Lime Tree Avenue a path runs around the back of houses near the railway line and I suspect the pillar was in the back garden of possibly number 243.

Site is now the back garden of a house. The back garden is behind the fence in the photograph. The pillar was destroyed when the housing estate was built back in 1956

Location is back garden, viewed from path, no pillar, OS say Dest 10/56, consistent with age of housing

What to do when you have an hour's wait between trains in Crewe? Go and see a pillar that you know is not going to be there. It's all exercise anyway.

nothing much to add to previous logs, somewhere between the houses and the railway seems likely, probably near what are now the back gardens.

OS records have it as 'Dest 10/56'. Lacking in scenery.

Thanks to the pellet holes in the fence, I could see that it was not in the garden. I got within 5m of the ref, on the corner of the gardens. Crewe-Stockport Railway nearby as well. Houses got the pillar.

Sydney: The site.
