Ilkeston town is situated in the Erewash Valley, 9 miles N.E of Derby and 8
miles N.W of Nottingham. It is the third largest town in Derbyshire.
Standing on a hill, this former mining community was mentioned in Domesday
when it was known as Tilchestune. The pits have closed in Ilkeston but it
still a busy industrial town, whose many industries include
engineering,hosiery, lace and fabrics, electronics, plastic and food
distribution. A history of the town's industrial past is told in the Erewash
Museum, housed in a fine Georgian building in the High Street.
Despite it's industrial outlook, parks, trees and flower beds are a feature
of the community and there is some pleasant countryside around the town.
Ilkeston holds weekly markets on Thursdays and Saturday's and every October
there is a 3 day Charter fair, first started over 700 years ago and now
perhaps one of the largest street fairs in the country and well worth a
visit.
