I've an old map of the area (can send it if you pm me your email address) , which clearly shows Albert House at what would be the junction of Henry Street and Queen Street (Queen Street not shownt on map and Henry Street only partially built), If your numbering is correct ie Albert House being at the number 2 end then Henry Street must have been renumbered at some point as the numbers now start at the Middlewich Street end.

If you look at Google Street View Albert House would have been at what is now 220-224 Henry Street

Have you ever thought of this, guards were issued with watches, yet for some strange reason known only to Railway Boards of Directors etc. drivers were not. Who was responsible for running the train to time. The driver, not the guard! Only sorted c1980 when all drivers were issued with watches.

The Driver, drives the Guards Train on the Signallers Railway. 

Signallers control the progress of the train and Guards ensure it leaves the station on time.

Originally part of the guards duty was to set his watch to the master clock at the relevant London Station and transfer that time to the station master at each station so the station clocks could be constantly kept to time.

I found one or two of mine on the LNWR site, but it has thrown up a strange query.............. what on earth would a 'jeweler' be doing worjing at crewe works???

Gaille

The Railway companys clocks & watches were repaired in Crewe Works, so he was probably employed there.

Cheshire / Re: Looking for info on 7 Sydney Road, Crewe
« on: Monday 05 October 09 21:06 BST (UK)  »
Where 7 Sydney Road is shown on Google Earth at the junction of Sydney Road and Maw Green Road, was a small infant school which shut (probably) 15 - 20 years ago, the school was demolished and a small housing estate built. 

The large council estate you mention is the Sydney Road, Lime Tree Avenue, Elm Drive, Sycamore Avenue, Plane Tree Drive area. There are two other schools in this area, Monks Coppenhall which is approx half way along Remer Street (North Side) and Sir William Stanier Community High School (Formerly Coppenhall High School) on Coronation Street.
