Community-spirited residents host fundraising May Day scarecrow trail on Crewe estate

RESIDENTS in Crewe came together to hold their inaugural 'May Day on the Avenue' scarecrow trail on Sunday.

The scarecrow trail followed a route around the Ludlow Circle incorporating Ludlow Avenue and Stanhope Avenue and featured over fifteen front garden scarecrow displays.

Residents put a lot of effort and imagination into their scarecrow designs which included a Lady Ludlow, a gardener enjoying a glass of wine, a builder with high-viz vest as well as maypole dancers, a car mechanic, furloughed worker and socially distanced scarecrows waiting to be vaccinated!

The scarecrows were all judged in the morning by staff from Crewe Fire Station.

Several households also setup a bric-à-brac table on the pavement in front of home.

Money from donations and tables will go towards Christmas in the Avenue 2021.
