Ilkeston - Christmas Lights
w/e 04 December 2022
All of this week's pictures were taken with a Nikon D3300
Ilkeston's Christmas lights
were switched on at an event on Friday 25th November at 7pm which
wasn't very good timing for football fans as that's when the
England against the USA match kicked off in the World Cup game.
I opted to watch the football but I think there was much excitement
on the Market Place! Nevertheless we did take a walk through
the town one day last week and here are some of the images.
If reindeer, like horses, wear shoes they might have to change
the name of this pub at the top of Derby Road as one has landed
with Santa's sleigh on the bay window.

Around the corner on South Street the Spanish Bar is looking
very festive with three Christmas trees and dozens of lights
across its frontage.

criss-crossed from one side to the other.
