Crowle

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of the Isle of Axholme, Crowle is a small town which stands on the Stainforth and Keadby Canal on one of the largest areas of dry land in the area.

The town has existed for centuries and its history probably goes back to the Bronze Age. Certainly the Romans were here and it may have been that Crowle was a trading centre for them.



Crowle is busy little town and recent times have seen dramatic changes in the local scene. In particular there has been considerable house building, with new developments on Mill Hill, Wharfe Road, Field Side and Godnor Road.

Increasingly popular as a commuter town – it is within easy driving reach of Goole and Scunthorpe - Crowle has its own rail link with stopping services from Sheffield to Scunthorpe.

Services call here between approximately 0600 and 2315 Monday to Friday, and 0600 to 2215 Saturday. No services call at this station on Sundays.

Evidence of Crowle’s historic past remains through St Oswalds’ Church with its elements of Saxon and Norman design.
