The Law Courts in Crewe were built in the 1960s on the site of a former school.
In 1845 Christ Church was built on Prince Albert Street and a year later a school both paid for by the Grand Junction Railway Company. By 1960 the school was ready for demolition to allow for the erection of the Law Courts and Library. Source - number 12 at the following link: (
