Old Ilkeston (East) And Cossall by Mike Jobling
— A Derbyshire ironworks and its people. Written by two former employees (both published authors), this extensive history of the site is mainly told by the people who worked there and supplemented by newspaper reports and many photographs. This is history at the sharp end with tales told by the people who were intimately involved in the events described — tales that would not normally appear in more academic papers. Foreword by local lad, actor Robert Lindsay.

Set at the point where two major railway companies bumped up against each other, and a major supplier of coal and iron to the rest of the country, it’s not surprising that so much track was laid in and around Ilkeston. Grant and Paul tell the story of the coming and going of the railways, including many recollections of those on the ground keeping the whole thing working and many previously unpublished photographs.
Price £13.50
