There are now nine roads by which traffic can enter Ilkeston
and this series will show some of the views and sights to be
seen when approaching the town from each of them in turn. Perhaps
a dull day in January is not the best time to start but these
are some of the first impressions a new visitor would recieve
on approaching the town. A tenth vehicular access through Hallam
Fields is a private road and since the closure of the Stanton
Ironworks it is not possible for the general public to reach
the town via this route. There are of course several other routes
by which the town can be reached on foot but in this series we
shall be concentrating on the main roads and looking at each
in some detail. Starting in the east and progressing in a clockwise
direction we shall begin each route just outside the Ilkeston
boundary and head towards the town centre. The new link road
from the Awsworth Bypass was opened in December 2008 so it's
as good a place as any to make a start.
