Discover Ilkeston, a vibrant town in the eastern Derbyshire countryside, nestled on the banks of the River Erewash. With a distinctive dialect and a population of 38,640 at the 2011 census, Ilkeston retains its rich heritage while embracing modern progress. The town boasts a history that reaches back to the 6th century, vigorously evolved from Anglo-Saxon settlement to a major hub for coal mining, ironworking, and textiles by the 19th century. Although these industries have transitioned, Ilkeston remains close to both Derby and Nottingham, with the M1 motorway serving as a vital connection. With a redeveloped Charter Fair and nearby Stanton Ironworks transformed into a business park, Ilkeston continues to attract both residents and investors seeking a dynamic and historically rich community.
