Jubilee of the Railway Locomotive Factory Works at Crewe, 1876. Creator: Unknown

Jubilee of the Railway Locomotive Factory Works at Crewe, 1876....Crewe has been created and is maintained wholly by the work of manufacturing and repairing locomotive engines for the [London and North-Western] railway company...a kind of railway jubilee took place there upon the completion of their two-thousandth engine. In honour of this event, the...Company gave the 6000 men in their employ a day's holiday, and liberally paid them for the day...A procession of the workmen was formed in four separate divisions, including those of the Bessemer steelworks, the forge, the rail-works, the engine-works, erecting and fitting, the boiler-making department, the joiners, wheelwrights, and moulders shops, the carriage-building and fitting, painting, and repairing shops, each division with its band of music, preceded by the company's fire brigade, and followed by a volunteer fire brigade'.
