large upper Market Place is a later addition to the lower Market Place for which Hugh de Cantelup first gained permission to hold a Thursday Market in 1252. The Market Place is now a conservation area and has several features of historical interest.
St Marys dates from around 1150 AD but has been significantly altered over time. The three piers and arches which separate the nave from the south aisle are all that remain of the original building. Extensive alterations took place in the Victorian period, including the rebuilding of the tower.
This purpose built Town Hall was built in 1867-68 to an Italian style design by the architects R. C. Sutton of Nottingham.
Ilkeston's first purpose built Cinema by James Parsons and Sons of Bulwell (1913), believed to be the second oldest remaining purpose built Cinema in the country. The style incorporates features of Edwardian, classical and art nouveau designs.
Ilkeston's first non conformist cemetery, opened in the 19th Century. Nearest to Stanton Road are the monuments to many of Ilkeston's most prominent citizens, at the back of the cemetery are many hunderds of unmarked graves, the final resting place of many of the town's poorest citizens.

The site of the now much reduced ironworks. There had been ironworking on the site since 1840s but much is now semi-derelict and a little of any antiquity remains. There are a few 19th Century work shops remaining but no trace of the blast furnaces. Still intact are the ornate company offices of 1914, adjacent to Lows Lane, and a number of other 20th Century associated buildings.
Straws Bridge is located on High Lane, on the boudary of Ilkeston and West Hallam. It is a popular local attraction, and a haven for both local and visiting wildlife. Plentiful parking is available for visitors wishing to take a stroll around the network of lakes and surrounding footpaths. Straws Bridge also incorporates the nature reserve known as Pewit Carr. The reserve consists of species rich grassland with orchids, willow carr and sedge beds.
The Cat and Fiddle post mill, with the date of 1788 on the timbering, stands on the site of an earlier mill. This is the only surviving post mill in Derbyshire. On a clear day there are excellent views of the surrounding countryside. At the bottom of the hill is Moat Wood, the firner site of the original moated manor house.
Contains over 600 acres of attractive parkland with lakes, woodlands and miles of footpaths and bridleways. There is a Visitor Centre with a countryside gift shop and cafe. More
