61. A similar view of Christ Church outside the boundary wall which is now considerably lower.

62. We now move into the square (off Market Street). Here we can see the old General Post Office in Delamere Street. This building has long since been demolished.

63. Another view of the General Post Office.

64. Similar view. Note the War Memorial (centre).

65. Another view of the War Memorial. There is very little change from this view today.

66. We have now left the town centre. We are on Alton Street, looking up Flag Lane. The top of St. Mary's R.C. Church can just be made out over the house rooves. The view of the terrace of houses on the left is now obscured by the Crewe Swimming Baths.

67. We are now in Wistaston Road, at the entrance to Queen's Park.

68. Having entered the Park, we look back at the clock tower.

69. Continuing into the Park, we come to the Boer War Memorial and the Pavilion, which was destroyed by fire in the late 1970's.

70. The Lake in Queen's Park.

71. The bridge over the lake, with a rear view of the Pavillion.

72. Not far from the entrance to the Park was the Crewe Cottage Hospital, now demolished to make way for a housing estate.
