Ilkeston is a town on the River Erewash between Derby and Nottingham, with 40,953 residents at the 2021 census. Queen Victoria made it a borough in 1887.
Coal, iron and lace were its main industries, and Stanton Ironworks made its last casting in 2007. The Ilkeston Charter Fair is held in the Market Place every October under a charter granted by Henry III in 1252.
The town got a railway station again in 2017, after 50 years without one, and the M1 is close by.
Kirk Hallam adjoins Ilkeston and is largely seen as part of the town today. It grew with large housing estates in the 1950s and 1960s, around All Saints' Church, which is late Norman and Grade I listed.
