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the railways, including many recollections of those on the ground keeping the whole thing working and many previously unpublished photographs.
