The journey of the Crewe Heritage Centre began back in 1987, during the vibrant Crewe Heritage Festival. It was a collaborative effort between the Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council and British Rail, resulting in the birth of this remarkable museum. On a memorable day, 24th July 1987, the museum was officially inaugurated by none other than HRH Queen Elizabeth II herself.

Our members are the true heartbeat of the Heritage Centre, as they play a vital role in preserving the rich history of Crewe. Without their unwavering support, we wouldn't be able to keep the legacy of this town alive.

By joining the Heritage Centre as a member, you not only gain access to our award-winning museum at a discounted price but also receive our exclusive magazine, 'The Eagle.' Moreover, you'll have the privilege of attending member-only events, adding an extra layer of excitement to your experience.
