Welcome to Ilkeston
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 Doomsday 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. !
