Ilkeston is a market town in Derbyshire, England, situated in the Erewash Valley. With its industrial heritage deeply rooted in coal mining, iron working, and lace-making, the town has evolved while maintaining connections to its past.

The town's history dates back to the Anglo-Saxon period and was later mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The industrial revolution significantly shaped Ilkeston's development, and evidence of this era can still be seen in its architecture and local institutions.

Today, Ilkeston combines its historical character with modern amenities, featuring a mix of Victorian architecture and contemporary developments. The town maintains its traditional market culture, with a charter market that has been operating since 1252, and hosts various cultural events throughout the year that celebrate its heritage.
