Description
The LNWR and LMS Crewe Tranship Shed War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1925, with additions for the Second World War, and was relocated in 1999. It is made of buff sandstone and stands on stone flags within the footprint of the former Christ Church, which is also a grade II-listed building.
The memorial features a stone slab topped with a shallow pyramidal capital over a dentilled cornice, and it has a moulded three-stepped foot, resting on a single square step. The principal (south) face of the memorial includes labels in the upper corners, carved with flowers in low relief, above a laurel wreath also carved in relief. Below this, an incised inscription reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD,/ AND TO PERPETUATE THE MEMORY/ OF THE FOLLOWING MEN/ FROM THE CREWE TRANSHIP SHED,/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918./ (20 NAMES)/ 1939 – 1945/ (5 NAMES)."
The sides of the slab each feature a cross in low relief.
