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.
