Ilkeston and the places nearby.
Ilkeston is an Erewash town on the Nottinghamshire border that grew on coal, iron and lace, and it hosts one of the oldest charter fairs in the country each autumn. It has a practical, working character, and much of the housing is Victorian terraces and post-war estates. Customers tend to value firms from the town itself rather than from Nottingham or Derby. A trades site that names Cotmanhay, Kirk Hallam and West Hallam, and shows real local jobs, makes that clear.
Inside Erewash, the closest places are Sandiacre (3 miles) and Long Eaton (5 miles). Just over the council boundary, Kimberley (3 miles), Stapleford (3 miles), Eastwood (3 miles) and Bulwell (5 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Inside Ilkeston, the site can name areas such as Cotmanhay, Kirk Hallam, Hallam Fields, Larklands, Shipley and West Hallam.
From our base in Exeter, Ilkeston is about 182 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start DE.
