The only music shop I can recall was Bosson & Doig on Hightown, used to sell sheet music and musical instruments.

as well as Bossen and Doig there was a privately owned one in market street. Unfortunately both have been knocked down and are no longer there.

There was a music shop on Nantwich Road in the 60s/70s
can't remember the name though but the building will still be there perhaps you should ask on Crewe memories site

I have a very strong memory of a record shop on Nantwich Road, towards the station end, in the early 70s. It had gone by the mid 70s - the shop sign was pink (I think) and had drawings of a record at either end of the sign. Anyone else remember this shop or have any photos?
