About

Erewash is a local government district in south-eastern Derbyshire that covers the towns of Ilkeston and Long Eaton and a number of surrounding villages. The borough council is based in Ilkeston. The area combines compact urban centres and former industrial sites: coal workings and lace and hosiery factories shaped local employment through the 19th and 20th centuries. Long Eaton’s lace and textile workshops left a pattern of narrow streets, former mill buildings and rows of terraces, while Ilkeston retains a regular market and civic architecture from the same period.

Water and green corridors run through the district. The Erewash Canal and the River Erewash thread the borough, with towpaths used for walking and cycling and stretches of reclaimed colliery land turned to open space. Housing, light industry and newer developments sit alongside small parks and village greens. Local services are provided from Ilkeston and Long Eaton, and road and rail links support commuting and local travel across the East Midlands.
