About

Ilkeston Town is situated in the Borough of Erewash, with its centre located on a ridge above the River Erewash and the Nottingham Canal. The area's layout is defined by its historic market place and surrounding streets, with residential districts extending outwards. Local commerce is centred around the pedestrianised shopping area and the long-established outdoor market, which operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The town's topography provides views across the Erewash Valley towards neighbouring Nottinghamshire.

The area includes several green spaces, such as the grounds of Ilkeston's former Rutland Recreation Ground. A notable local landmark is the distinctive, octagonal St. Mary's Church, constructed in the 14th century. The town's industrial heritage is connected to the former coal mining and ironworking that once operated in the locality. The Erewash Canal, running to the west, forms part of the boundary with Derbyshire.
