Crewe is a railway town within the unitary authority area of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. According to the 2001 census the urban area had a population of 67,683. Crewe is perhaps best known as a large railway junction and home to Crewe Works, for many years a major railway engineering facility for manufacturing and overhauling locomotives, but now much reduced in size. From 1946 until 2002 it was also the home of Rolls-Royce motor car production. The Pyms Lane factory on the west of the town now produces Bentley motor cars exclusively.
Although the name Creu first appears in the Domesday Book, the modern urban settlement of Crewe was not formally planned out until 1843 by Joseph Locke to consolidate the "railway colony" that had grown up since around 1840-41 in the area near to the railway junction station opened in 1837, even though it was called Crewe by many, from the start. Crewe was thus named after the railway station, rather than the other way round.
Crewe Toll is an area in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital.
The Western General Hospital is in the vicinity. Another hospital, the Northern General, was also in the area but this is now the site of a Morrisons supermarket. Edinburgh's Telford College (tertiary) was at Crewe Toll, but has moved to a site at Granton. Fettes College (private, secondary) is close by. A major aerospace facility is situated in the area, the SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems facility (formerly the avionics division of Ferranti, then GEC-Marconi, then until 2005 BAE Systems).
Ferry Road passes through the area, indeed the original Crewe Toll tolbooth where a roundabout now stands is on Ferry Road.
Some nearby Edinburgh districts include Craigleith, Pilton, Inverleith, and Silverknowes

Let's count the days til winter comes our way
We're all tired and ready to breathe
And there's a rumor that
There's a bitter cold chill in the air.
It's haunting every breath we take.
The hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.
It's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried away.
Let's think about all those nights on Luckie St.
We stayed up til 3 am, with all the gossip and the latest girls.
There's a bitter cold chill in the air.
It's haunting every breath we take.
The hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.
It's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried ah.
This winter is much like all the rest.
This season's changed since we've been away.
This winter is much like all the rest.
Cause it's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried away.
Get carried away.
