Ilkeston - 'Saints'
w/e 24 May 2026
All of this week's pictures were
taken with a Nikon D3300 camera.
The theme for this selection of images is 'Saints'
as all, whether building or road, have 'Saint' in their name.
The United Reformed Church can be accessed from the far end of
St Andrew's Drive but is hidden here behind the trees on the
left.
|
The main entrance to St Andrew's Church (also known as Ilkeston
Methodist Church) however, seen here from Bath Street, is on
Wilmot Street.
|
St Mary's Court (inset) off
St Mary Street is also off the top of Bath Street and the Lower
Market Place.
|
And St Mary's Church can also be seen from the Lower Market Place
although at this time of year you have to be in the right position
to see between the leaf covered trees.
|
Another church, this one dedicated to Our
Lady and St Thomas of Hereford, stands on the corner of Nottingham
Road and Regent Street. Usually photographed from the former
it is seen here from the latter.
|
St James Avenue runs between Greenwood Avenue and this vantage
point on St John's Road.
|
This is the view of St John's Road from the Green Lane end before
it drops down and then rises again to Nottingham Road.
|
Not far down Nottingham Road from St John's Road is St John's
Church and is seen here from Cavendish Road.
|
Our tour of Ilkeston for the
next saint took us to Kirk Hallam and this view of St Norbert
Drive.
|
We could of course have taken photos on the way to Kirk Hallam
of the St Thomas Catholic Voluntary Academy (a primary school)
and also Saint John Houghton Catholic Voluntary Academy (a secondary
school) in Kirk Hallam. Opting against taking photos of schools
the tour ended at Kirk Hallam Church - it's dedicated to All
Saints.
