I enjoy the Christmas lights in the Crewe and Nantwich town
centres, but I also really enjoy the over-the-top Christmas lights and
decorations (including the occasional inflatable decoration) that some local
homeowners setup each year. Their electricity bills must be sky high, but they
never fail to bring a smile to my face!
My favourites so far in Crewe are located in Ravenscroft
Road, Alton Street, Salisbury Avenue and Vincent Street.
My favourites so far in Wistaston are in Lear Drive and
Westfield Drive.
My favourites so far in Nantwich are in Cope Avenue,
Davenport Avenue and Barony Road.
There was also a Christmas car this year after Michael Cope
from Crewe decorated his BMW with 1,000 lights!
My most favourite Christmas house this year is located in
Alton Street (Queens Park end) in Crewe. The owner(s) have decorated their
house frontage in a wide selection of inflatables, lights and Christmas scenes.
For several years running they have clearly spent a lot of time and effort in
choosing and setting up their displays.
I must also give a special mention to the ‘Weston Christmas
Light Display’, which takes place at Carters Green Farm, Jack Lane, Weston, near
Crewe every day in December until Monday 28th December 2015 (6:15pm to 9:00pm).
Plus, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening and the last few days before
Christmas, Santa will take time off from his busy schedule to visit the farm
and sit in his sleigh. For the third year running money is being raised for The
Donna Louise Children's Hospice http://www.donnalouisetrust.org/ . Last year an
incredible £5,720 was raised for the charity and the money was used to help
fund additional nursing staff and their training. To visit the display if
heading from Crewe turn right off Weston Road (just after Crewe Hall) into Main
Road towards Weston, then left into Jack Lane. If heading from Weston go over
the A500 bypass bridge on Main Road and turn right in Jack Lane. From both
directions look out for the ‘Charity Christmas Light Display 6.15-9pm’ arrow
signs at the end of Jack Lane. https://www.facebook.com/westonlightdisplay
