Keith,
I came across your note re: the above. I'm interested because I came across a quote from Eardley's Crewe Almanac 1893. The extract reads "April 12th. Shocking Railway Accident at Willaston, in which Mr Noel Pritchard (Stationmaster), was killed by a travelling crane. I very soon realised that the name was incorrect. So now you know how he died. I think he came from Whitchurch originally.
I'm researching history of Willaston as part of the newly formed Willaston History Group.
